Hi, I got this error under Windows installation, I've google it but there is no certain way to solve it. Somebody say to remove the package "lock" (I did), someone else to remove the bin folder, others to remove completely the node modules folder.
I tried a npm prune.
I'm afraid to loose Node red, flow and plette installed. How can I solve it? Thank you
What exactly are you doing when the error happens and where does it appear?
Thanks for help, when I'm installing under plette or update a module, I click to see the log and it appears. I?m under windows, npm, python, nodes and node red are up to date
Can you try an install in a terminal please. Go to your .node-red folder and run
npm install node-red-some-node
and copy/paste the full result here. Replace the node name with a real node of course.
So, I made a few test, here the result:
First this was the log in the console:

Then I installed manually as you suggested, in the node modules:

THen I reloaded the page in browser bu I can't see the node, in palette I still have install and if I install again the same error, on log:

May you also kindly describe me what this is for and how can I solve it, thank you 
Please upgrade to @mapbox/node-pre-gyp: the non-scoped node-pre-gyp package is deprecated and only the @mapbox scoped package will recieve updates in the future
Where did I suggest installing it from there. Do it from your .node-red folder. Start by uninstalling it, using npm uninstall, in case it is half installed, then do the install again and post the full install log please.
I don't know where is the folder .node-red , I'm under Windows and I have the folder node-red: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\node-red
It shows you where it is when you start node-red.
Sorry, you were right:

C:\Users\Admin.node-red>
I see, npm won't run at all in that folder. Odd. Something must be messed up.
You said you had already tried deleting package-lock.json, was it the one in the .node-red folder you deleted? If not then try that, you won't lose anything by doing that. You should be backing up that folder anyway if your flows are important.
If deleting package-lock doesn't fix it then please post here the file package.json which should be in your .node-red folder.
Edit. Use the </> button at the top of the forum entry window and paste it in where it says. That will stop the forum from interpreting it as Markdown.
Further edit. If package-lock removal doesn't help then also remove .node-red/node_modules folder. You won't lose anything important. Having deleted them, then in .node-red again run
npm install
with no node specified. That will rebuild node_modules.
I've deleted that folder, then under .ned-rode I executed with administrative privileges:
C:\Users\Admin\.node-red>npm install
npm ERR! Cannot read property 'extraneous' of undefined
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

And package-lock.json?
Post package.json as I asked.
now also that, but
C:\Users\Admin\.node-red>npm install
npm ERR! must provide realpath for Link node

"node-red-contrib-telegrambot": "file:node_modules/node-red-contrib-telegrambot",
"node-red-node-email": "~1.7.8"
}
}
That is the problem. Somehow you have tried to install that in a strange way. Make a copy of that file (package.json), just in case, and then delete that line and run npm install again. Assuming that goes ok then restart node-red and if necessary install telegrambot using Manage Palette.
thank you for your kind help
I don't know how it happened..

The error is quite clear...
You need to install build tools first. From an elevated command prompt...
npm install --global windows-build-tools
Don't worry about it, they are all modules pulled in by the nodes, it is up to the author of those to sort that out.
Thnaks, I launched that command and waited patentially. After 10 minutes it was downloading I had a look what exactly.. tons and tons of SDK, sorry I don't need them, they will fill up my SSD for nothing. I closed the process.
I'll check about the issue with visual studio
