Whichever version you use, ensure that:

* Visual C++ support is installed
* If using Visual Studio make sure Visual C++ support is selected/installed
* If using Visual C++ Build Tools make sure Windows 8 SDK is selected/installed
* A `git` command is in your path
* If you have both VS2013 and VS2015 installed set the `GYP_MSVS_VERSION` environment variable to the Visual Studio version (`2013` or `2015`) you wish to use, e.g. ``[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GYP_MSVS_VERSION", "2015", "User")`` in PowerShell or set it in Windows advanced system settings control panel.
* Set the `GYP_MSVS_VERSION` environment variable to the Visual Studio/Build Tools version (`2013` or `2015`) e.g. ``[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GYP_MSVS_VERSION", "2015", "User")`` in PowerShell or set it in Windows advanced system settings control panel.
