Hello everybody,

It's my first post here !  
I'm trying to install a new node on my computer when this error message appears "Failed to install : node-red-contrib-ble-sense".  
 ![Failed install](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/6/4/6448278a5ccc4357bb32942a8e69442aa91dd05d.png)  
It is proposed to check the log, and I don't find solution to fix this problem.

Do you have any idea to fix this ?  
Thank you.

You can see the log :

The logs give a pretty good clue.

You need some build tools for windows  
This module uses `@abandonware/noble` which requires `windows-build-tools`

Installing VS Community will do the trick, as well as setting the VS version for `node-gyp`  
`npm config set msvs_version 20##`

windows-build-tools is depreciated

The OP should install nodejs 16LTS and tick the box to install necessary tools

Thanks' for your answer !  
I've tried reinstalling nodejs with ticking the box and it no longer works...

Do you have any idea ?

Thank's again.

Are you saying the installer didn't work, or now nothing works? or still where we were?  
can you share any further logs, post the install?

No sorry, my english is not very good..  
I wanted to say that I still cannot download the node.

I use this version for NodeJs

Ok...

It seems there are some issues with the latest build environments with a dependency this node uses

This issue reports the same that your logs do.  
[Windows build fails with Visual Studio 2019 but succeeds with Visual Studio 2017 · Issue #277 · abandonware/noble (github.com)](https://github.com/abandonware/noble/issues/277)

I don't fully get the connection between the build tools and VS - but I know they are related somehow

I don't think it will help, but can you run the command below, in an elevated command prompt?  
run the command under this directory -\> `C:\Users\PC_SCADA_02\.node-red`

`npm install @abandonware/noble@1.9.2`

IF it succeeds, run this next (again under `C:\Users\PC_SCADA_02\.node-red`)  
`npm install node-red-contrib-ble-sense`

IF it succeeds, restart Node RED - and see if the node appears

Ok, I've tried and it didn't works.  
Look :

```auto

npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @abandonware/noble@1.9.2.

```

Then I've tried without the versions (npm install @abandonware/noble) :

Try `npm install @abandonware/noble@1.9.2-15`

Awesome!

So this is what we can take from it:

The package uses the noble ble driver (and allows all versions of \>= 1.9.2-15)  
But, whatever the latest version is, it has become a problem for the latest build tools.

NPM will, by default install whatever the latest version is, providing its in the range that is needed

So we instead, installed the min supported version of noble - that hopefully does not have the problem, that the latest version does.
