Don't use ancient OS. Just upgrade to Windows 10.
@shinnn Hah-hah. You really think it's my choice? This is a requirement mandated by the client. No issues with other packages, just the gifsicle. Maybe that issue should be filed there instead?
I just updated the Windows Gifsicle binaries to the latest version. imagemin/gifsicle-bin@921dfab
@demisx Can you try npm install imagemin-gifsicle again ? If the spawn UNKNOWN error still occurs, this is not what we can fix and, as you said, should be reported on https://github.com/kohler/gifsicle/issues instead.
Thank you. I ran the install five times and it failed 3 times out of those 5 with the spawn UKNOWN error. I've also received the same error for jpegtran-bin package, so this is clearly not an issue with imagemin-gifsicle, but rather the node/Windows environment. Strange that this error only happens trying to install the image processing packages and not the others. Anyways, thank you @shinnn for giving it a try. Now back to my Mac. 😄
Now back to my Mac. 😄
Hope your client allows you to modernize the environment 🙏
