Not able to install it on Windows7

When I try to install it with "npm install grunt-angular-gettext" on a Windows 7 / 64 system I get the following error:
Die Projekte in dieser Projektmappe werden nacheinander erstellt. Um eine parallele Erstellung zu ermöglichen, müssen Sie den Schalter "/m" hinzufügen.

This issue isn't specific to grunt-angular-gettext, it's the contextify module, which is a dependency of jquery that can't be installed.
There's a clue on what to do in the error message:
MSBUILD : error MSB3411: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe". If the component is not installed, either 1) install the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5, or

Let me know if that helps you further.
Funny:
- I have .NET installed (4.0)
- I have MS Visual Studio installed (2012)
It is no option to do great experiments in this area...
Further: on executing "npm install grunt-angular-gettext --save-dev" it is required to have a python version < 3.0
This is also not really good because I have a python version 3.x installed.
So I really like the concept behind your lib. But from my point of view it is not ready to use it in a comfortable way. At least when I have to use Windows and whe it has to run on serveral developer machines...
From a Node based tool I expect no troubles (means no further software installation and so on)

It shouldn't give any trouble and you are absolutely correct in expecting that. However, this isn't really caused by grunt-angular-gettext, it seems to be an install issue with the contextify module.
Probably best to open an issue here: https://github.com/brianmcd/contextify/issues
I'd love to help debugging this, but I currently do not have access to a Windows machine with a developer environment set up.
In the long run, I'll have a look at getting rid of that dependency alltogether.

It does not make sense to investigate further options. node-gyp (which is used by contextify) requires python 2.7 and Visual Studio 2010 on windows systems.
I have to decide the solution for the text/translation problem rather soon. So I guess I have to use angular-translate (although I find your approach easier to use and better to maintain)
This might be a good replacement for jQuery: https://github.com/component/dom
Does not require any native dependencies and should solve the same problem.
jQuery is only used in the extractHtml function, so it should be trivial to swap it out. I don't have time to look into this right now, so if you need that, you'll have to give it a go (if all the unit tests keep working, it should be good).
Putting it on my calendar for soon though. You're not the first to run into this problem and I want it fixed.
Great
Oh no that won't work, it's a client-side package. Wrapping it in jsdom will require contextify again.
I would really advise you to ping the contextify maintainer, this could be a very trivial problem with an easy fix.
O.k., I created an issue (brianmcd/contextify#90)
But I don't think that a solution can be expected....
Let's see

Yeah I've seen it (https://github.com/brianmcd/contextify/wiki/Windows-Installation-Guide). But it is no option to install it on every developer machine. I don't want such heavyweight dependencies
Understandable. If you happen to run into a good DOM parser without a dependency on contextify, I'll happily switch it over.
Yeah, thank you for your commitment
This might be an option: https://github.com/MatthewMueller/cheerio
@maku I've switched the DOM parser so there's no longer any dependency on contextify. You should have no problems installing on Windows as soon as I release the new version (which I will do in a minute).
Released 0.1.0.
Great I'll give it a try tomorrow...
Now it works as expected. Thank you....
