Hm. I have Windows 8.1, Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2013.
There were also troubles with node-gyp:
* Wrong version of Visual Studio MV. I decided to reinstall it to the "correct" one.
* Cant with username. Be sure to check that the user's folder is in Latin, without Cyrillic characters. (I personally had to recreate the user). It seems to have been fixed: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/476
I'm 99% sure that you put something wrong.
I recommend to demolish everything and install according to the instructions: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp
