I'd like to use FFI in Node.js, but when npm install ffi,

gypErr:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe failed with exit code:1

The error appears with .
Windows built tools are already installed.

environment

Node 14.15.0

Supplementary

The current version is tested to run on node v0.6, v0.8, v0.9 and v0.10. was pointed out in the comment that the Node version itself may not be compatible, so I dropped it to v0.10.

 gyp ERR! stack Error: `gyp`failed with exit code:1

Support for ffi seems to have ended with Node 11.
ffi-napi seems to be the replacement for Node 12 and later.https://www.npmjs.com/package/ffi-napi
There was no error using this.
ffi-napi is the same as ffi.

Installation method
For Windows,
Install windows build tools on Powershell with administrator privileges.
Then install node-gyp under npm-g install node-gyp.
Then enter npm install ffi-napi.

How-to
var ffi=require('ffi-napi');
It is the same as ffi except for writing .
If you use ref, ref-napi is supported instead, so install it separately.
