Can't build keytar with Electron Windows

[Gaëtan Dezeiraud]

I'm on Windows 10, with Visual Studio 2019 community installed (and the C++ toolchain).
Python 3.9 from the MS Store and NodeJS v14.17.1. When I try to run npm i I have this error. Any idea?

Thanks.

I think it is the same issue #386

[Ranjith-Eswaran-G]

@Brouilles , I am also facing the same issue. Did you get any work around to fix this?

[Gaëtan Dezeiraud]

I had found a solution. But I don't remember it sorry.
