I have reinstalled node completely, I have installed VS 2017 and 2019, installed the 2017 build tools and it says build tools is installed for VS 2019, I have set the version to all versions accepted in the config and nothing works. Every time I did a change I got an error and resolved the error and everything comes back to this one error when I set any version in the console. I have deleted my package-lock.json as this has resolved the issue in the past but that didn't work this time and I'd rather not delete it to fix it every time anyway. I have the most recent version of node (17.0.1). The accepted versions are 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 but everyone says all they did was install the build tools and it worked. I've installed the build tools by command, and in the installer for each version. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling each version one at a time and trying each one just to make sure it didn't work and tried changing the version in NPM config each time. This is so frustrating and I don't even know why its happening. It started happening randomly and now its seemingly unfixable.
Something to note: As I said I tried setting the config for msvs_version to every acceptable year as well as 2017 and 2019 according to the version I installed. If I don't set it, it tells me to set it, if its wrong, it says it found VS but it doesn't match the msvs version, and if I set it to anything past 2015 (2017 to match my VS version) it says the error below. I tried to get VS 2015 to see if somehow that could possibly work but I couldn't get that to work either.
Many people referred to this fix: Npm install not installing because of node-gyp so I tried following it.
I got mostly through the entire thing with no issue except it says to install node-sass. Except I get the error at the bottom when I try. Assuming this is because the error is that I can't do npm install, and the way they say to fix it is using npm install. I tried every fix out there, then try the one everyone says to use and it breaks it even more. I don't even know how to REVERT all these changes at this point to start from scratch.
