I am trying to npm install Node's pcap module on Windows 7 with Python 2.7 and VS 2013.

For that to work, MSBuild needs to find the Include/ and Lib/ folders of the WinPCap developer's pack.

I have tried these instructions to add include folders through VS2013's user-wide configuration file. Those changes are definitely picked up (if the XML is invalid, the build process dies even earlier).

I have also tried AdditionalIncludeDirectories (even though I cannot find it in the MSDN docs), like so:

<PropertyGroup>
    <!-- pcap is at: c:\dev\Include\pcap\pcap.h -->
    <AdditionalIncludeDirectories>c:\dev\Include</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>
</PropertyGroup>

...but the installer still complains that it cannot find pcap/pcap.h.

How can I make sure, it finds those files? (And is it really so hard to just add some system- (or user-) wide include settings for MSBuild or am I just being stupid?)

Ok,the visual studio works well on it,there is three steps. First, you need to build node with debug symbol.

type 

$ node -v

to get the nodejs version,then go to nodejs.org release page,download the tarball and extract it.

enter the extracted folder, type

vsbuild.bat debug nosign x64

if success, you will get a Debug\node.exe with debug symbals

Second, you need reconfigure node-gyp with a --debug flag，Let it generate a visual studio solution file.

D:\fe\mbox_electron\node_modules\example>node-gyp configure rebuild --nodedir="D:\node-v5.1.1" --debug

Third and the final, Open sln file with Visual Studio,and Configure debug parameters. enter image description here

then you can click debug button,set debug point,start debug
