Installing node modules with node-gyp spawn ENOENT error

Question

I'm trying to install the dependencies of the node-rtp-midi module. I followed the tutorial on the node-gyp github and searched the internet for many hours. I just can't get this thing to work. Every time a module needs node-gyp, the installation of the dependencies fails. Bellow you can find a screenshot with the cmd output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Visual Studio 2012 installed
Windows SDK installed
Python 2.7 installed
node.js version 0.10.26
node-gyp version 0.13.0

Did you try from the special Widnows SDK command prompt? – mscdex Apr 24 '14 at 13:47 — mscdex, Apr 24 '14 at 13:47
Yes, I get the the same output there – boortmans Apr 24 '14 at 13:52 — boortmans, Apr 24 '14 at 13:52

You need to set the PYTHON EnvVar to a full path including the executable! The PATH Variable is not enough.

set PYTHON=c:....Python\2.7.4\python.exe

Otherwise node-gyp finds the correct path and executes the found path, not the executable. The result is the ENOENT.

In order to install rtpmidi-node on a Windows machine, you should install the Apple Bonjour SDK
