C++ compile errors trying to install fibers @3.1.1

[roblucas]

I've just installed a new laptop with a fresh copy of all tools (node, npm, etc). I've tried to run npm install for my work software project and am getting C++ compile errors while trying to install fibers @3.1.1 - I don't know what transitive dependency is trying to use this. Has not been a problem before on my old laptop so I don't know if something has gone wrong with the tooling installation,

I've tried reinstalling npm and followed the setup steps on the node-gyp page. Seems like there are syntax errors in the files but they get deleted after the errors show so I can't explore. "npm install fibers" gets the same error

Versions:
fibers:
npm = 6.14.13
node = v14.17.0
visual studio build tools 2017 - 15.9.36
node-gyp=8.1.0

First part of output:

fibers@3.1.1 install C:\Workspace\QuotaTerritory\git\territory-ui\node_modules\fibers
node build.js || nodejs build.js

C:\Workspace\QuotaTerritory\git\territory-ui\node_modules\fibers>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\npm-lifecycle\node-gyp-bin\....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild --release ) else (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild --release )

towards the bottom of the error output I get several of the following:

Same frustrating problem here, except w/ visual studio 2019

[andrewslavin]

I'm having the same issue when running npm install fibers. Windows 10, node 14.17.6, npm 6.14.15. Can someone help please?!

[tlecoz]

same here (win 11 64bit , nodejs v18.16.0)
