SUMMARY
Followed this nice tutorial: http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/
Encountered errors after adding mongodb dependencies that were sort of outlined in this comment: http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/#comment-2420686449 Then, downgraded mongodb version to ~1.4 and others related, such as mongoskin; then installed node-gyp globally. Ran npm install, but got errors:
The persisting error was the one that starts with:
Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe". ...
Updated my environment to use the following:
- Using Windows 10 x64.
- Installed a windows node version manager
- Using node v0.12.7 (x64)
- Using npm v3.5.2
- Installed the VS C++ Build tools (BuildTools_Full.exe)
- Installed python 2.7.150 (x64)
- configured
node-gyp rebuild --msvs_version=2015 - configured npm to use VS2015
npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global - configured
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015
Now the error displays as below:

Perhaps you might try to upgrade to latest nodejs 5.4 stable. I got some issues when trying with nodejs 5.1, upgrade it did help.
