node-win32ole - build erros

[agape824]

I'm building node-win32ole addon using node-gyp.
There are many errors.

(configuration)

• Visual Studio Express 2008
• Python 2.6

What is the cause of these errors?
Is there any pre-built module?

I solved the problem
by installing node.js v0.8.18 & npm v1.4.28.
Previous erros were produced by different version of node files (eg. v8.h).

[consideRatio]

Any way to update this repo so that we can use later versions of node?

[consideRatio]

@agape824 can you tell me more about your successful installation?

What OS do you have? Did you have Visual studio installed?

i have this problem, latest node and npm on 29.11.2015. os windows 8.1, vs 2013 express, python 2.7

node ver. and npm can as ay later

[AndrewSav]

I'm getting these errors too. I also can confirm that using node.js v0.8.18 & npm v1.4.28 works. It would be nice if this can be brought up to date to support most recent version of nodejs/npm.

[agape824]

considerRatio,
I have Windows 7(32bit) and Visual Studio Express (2008 or later).

[generalov]

There were breaking API changes near nodejs v0.12. v8::Arguments had been replaced by v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value> and causes compilation errors above. So some code changes are needed to support most recent versions.

[antoinepairet]

@generalov would you be interested in making a fork of this project ?
I think this library should be ported to NAN in order to be compatible with different ABI versions.
What do you think?

[generalov]

@antoinepairet It is a good idea! Unfortunately I do not have enough experience in C++ programming to make such changes. Currently I dig around other alternatives:

• .NET API - https://www.npmjs.com/package/edge
• JScript/WSH - https://www.npmjs.com/package/jscript

[fabiorogeriosj]

I have same error :(

[relief-melone]

Same here. VS2013Express, Python 2.6.4. Hope someone comes up with a clue to this. Unfortunately my c++ skills are very limited otherwise I'd gladly help.

[rpaggi]

I'm also trying to use but this error appears for me too. My config is:
Windows 10 x64
node v6.11.3
npm v3.10.10
python 2.7
For MSBUILD I've used this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools

Anyone can help me?
