Hi,

I have tried running `npm install --global --production windows-build-tools` in elevated mode to fix this problem but still can't seem to fix this.

Please help me out to fix this. 

Thanks,
Saurav

I am not sure if you still need to run this command, to be honest.

Have you tried it without? If it does not work I would have to Google it as well.

But you only need webpack if you want to contribute, which is of course very welcome.

Hi, I reinstalled everything and it works without the rebuild now. I have removed it from the docs.
