I'm trying to do a npm install for a cloned project that uses nodejs and node-gyp. Experienced a lot of version mismatch issues (especially with Visual Studio) and got to a point where node-gyp rebuild fails on rebuild.
Installed Python 2.7, uninstalled VS2013 and installed VS2015 Community edition with Visual C++ 2015. Changed the environment variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION to 2015 using SET GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015, did npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global, ran npm install -g --msvs_version=2015 and got the following errors. Nothing I did moved the process further at this point and have been trying for 5+ hours!
I'm using Cmder (running as administrator), npm v3.6.0, node v5.7.0 and node-gyp v3.3.1 (running node-gyp -v results in v3.3.1).
I'm on Windows 10 x64.
Anyone has any idea what's causing these errors?

The problem is that the version of troop-node-enforcer being installed is depending on an older version of the webworker-threads module which is outdated. The npm log shows it installing v0.5.7 whereas the newest version is v0.7.1 and has had many fixes since the older version.
