0.28 release fails building on Windows 10

[apawlik]

Probably related to electron/electron#12061

npm install says it can't find Python on Windows 10 even though the executable is exactly where npm claims it cannot find it.
Resetting PYTHONPATH and PYTHON, restart etc. doesn't help.

Trying to solve it via https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows as suggested by @oliver---- (via @nokome ).

Update: node-gyp installed no problem. Now, new error:

MSBUILD : error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe". To fix this, 1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK, 2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 3) add the location of the component to the system path if it is installed elsewhere.
