node.js oracledb 1.11.0 install failure with node-gyp rebuild failed

I tried installing node.js with proper Python version.  I am running into this issue:

362 verbose stack Error: [email protected] install: `node-gyp rebuild`

I am using node.js 6.3.1.

There are lots of reference node-gyp rebuild failure but nothing helped in my case.  I will appreciate any pointers.

That log snippet had no useful information (which is sadly common for node-gyp logs).

Check standard gotchas such as having a new-enough compiler, the correct proxies, the correct values for OCI_*_DIR, using sudo -E.

It might very well be the reason since it worked fine on Linux 7 which has the gcc with the correct level of support.  Will Visual Studio Community Edition cut it on Windows or do I need Visual Studio Profession?

I believe CE will work.  Also see https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/issues/483#issuecomment-242620104
