Issue with installation

[Ematusz]

Hello,

I have been using serialport in my electron project for over a year now and have had no problems. However, last week something happened and now I cannot get the package to install anymore. I have been struggling with this for a few days and have attempted to use multiple different versions of node, node-gyp, and windows-build-tools to get it working but have not been successful. I cloned the electron-serialport demo and am getting the same error which is the following:

npm install serialport
