Solution

  • It isn't recommended to install windows-build-tools, as it is deprecated, and there are build tools from the Node.js installer.

    To install it, follow the steps below.

    1. Head to nodejs.org, and download and run the LTS installer.
    2. On the page where it asks you about installing the build tools, check the box.
    3. When the installation has concluded, a PowerShell window will open and run the commands to install the tools.

    EDIT: According to LeMIT's comment,

    A complete uninstallation of Node.js, Python, and Visual Studio (including a registry cleanup) helped me.

    This should install the build tools.
