  <ul>
  <li>Installed Python (v2.7 --specifically 2.7.6) and added it to the system path (C:\Python27)</li>
  <li>Installed MS VS C++ 2010 Express Version (I already had VS 2012 but without the C++ component)</li>
  <li>Installed the compiler update for Windows SDK 7.1</li>
  <li><p>Successfully executed node-gyp configure (from my add-on directory under nodejs\node_modules where binding.gyp is located)</p></li>
  <li><p>ran node-gyp build (as administrator)** This is what crashed, leaving me with:</p></li>
  </ul>
