npm install produces errors

[vitalybe]

I've run npm install win32ole and got the following:

So I did this instead:

```
git clone git://github.com/idobatter/node-win32ole.git
cd node-win32ole
node-gyp configure
node-gyp build
```

This resulted with:

gyp info it worked if it ends with ok

Same problem here, any ideas?

[alexander-rakov]

I had the same problem when I've installed Python into a different (not default "C:\Python27") folder.

[unDemian]

I have the same problem and I installed Python in the default folder. Anyone managed to fix this?
