Why is gulp-image not being installed?

Question

gulp.js

When I try to install gulp-image, I get the following:

C:\gulp-image-error>npm install --save-dev gulp-image

> node lib/install.js

C:\gulp-image-error>

I do not attach the log specified in the message, there are 8000 lines.
I tried to install it on three different laptops (Win 10 x64, Win 7 x32, Win 7 x64) and a virtual machine (VirtualBox Win 7 x32 - completely from scratch to a clean system) - everywhere is the same.
Accordingly, during installation, some files are copied to node_modules, but gulp-image is not written to package.json, tasks with its participation are not processed.
Versions:
node -v
v12.13.0
npm -v
6.12.0
gulp -v
CLI version: 2.2.0
Local version:
4.0.2 no problem.
I tried now to install those versions of gulp and gulp-image from scratch that were a year ago - the situation is similar, it does not work.
Older projects involving gulp-image will still run fine.
Please help me figure out what the problem is and how to solve it.

Answer 1

As I was immediately told, build tools are required.
However, this comment, apparently, was deleted for some reason.
Suggested - thanks.
Just in case, I’ll write what you need to install gulp-image, maybe someone else will need it:
1. Install the .NET framework
2. Install build tools
On Windows 10, the latest version of build tools was installed without any problems:
On Win7 SP1 x64, it was possible to install only version 4:
It was not possible to install on Win7 SP1 x32.
After installing all of the above, the gulp-image module installed correctly and started working.
