Node Platform :win32 win10

Node architecture: x64

You can try this too : https://github.com/node-ffi/node-ffi/issues/272#issuecomment-339242933

After spending 10+ hours and trying random solutions / things, I deleted C:\Users\UserName\.node-gyp folder and did npm i to resolve dependencies, which worked for me.

It worked for me.
