Cannot npm install due to node-gyp: binding.gyp not found

I have been working on this all day and have tried lots of different things:

  • Uninstalling node and installing latest version
  • Using the --msvs_version= flag set to 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015
  • Deleting the .node-gyp folder
  • Adding python path to .npmrc like so: python=C:\Python27\python.exe
  • npm -g install npm@next
  • Running node-gyp rebuild and node-gyp configure
  • Following Robert Kehoe’s guide

Rough times.

The package is an Electron/React app and I am running Windows 10. Console output for npm install is

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\x64\Microsoft.Cpp.x64.Targets(514,5): error MSB8008: Specif

gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.5.0

And for node-gyp rebuild:

gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: C:\Users\scheinerbock\Desktop\mpstudio) while trying to load binding.gyp

I am well out of my wheelhouse here and would appreciate any suggestions or information in addition to solutions.
