Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 10 install with Node.js v12.13.0 and node-gyp v5.0.5, using the reported prebuild-install || node-gyp configure build script and the MSBuild error. Check the native build requirements and complete output; done means npm install node-bluetooth --save succeeds on the affected Windows setup. No file or test is named in the issue.

Description

I've already installed the node-gyp
then try to run npm install node-bluetooth --save
but I got this error.
