Did you try the troubleshooting options at the bottom of the BUILD.md file?
On Windows
If node-gyp does not work (MSBUILD: error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component “VCBuild.exe”), you might need to install windows-build-tools using npm install --global windows-build-tools.
If yarn dist fails, it may need administrative rights.
If you get an error MSB8020: The build tools for v140 cannot be found. try to run with a different toolset version, eg npm install --toolset=v141 (See here for more info).
