Thanks for posting it! I think I've found the root cause and filed an issue to the Gyp issue tracker: https://code.google.com/p/gyp/issues/detail?id=457

Still having to do this. Thanks for posting. How to make this change permanent? I have to do this every time. Thanks again

Update: I use cmder so I added the appropriate line from above to the end of my cmder/vendor/init.bat file followed by a cls just to put the cursor at the top. Now it happens automatically when I open my console.

I was lucky to find this bug solution here, i just experience this problem and thankfully this worked:
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x86

This did not:
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x64
