[zavitax]

And here's the solution:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation

Namely:

Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).

[zavitax]

Unfortunately, when doing this:

const BluetoothSerialPort = require('bluetooth-serial-port');

I get:

[eelcocramer]

Does the file C:\Shared\TalkBack\Dev\Bluetooth\node_modules\bluetooth-serial-port\build\Debug\BluetoothSerialPort.node exist?

In the FAQ labelled issues you can find information on common Windows installation issues.

[zavitax]

The file C:\Shared\TalkBack\Dev\Bluetooth\node_modules\bluetooth-serial-port\build\Release\BluetoothSerialPort.node exists

Note \Release\ as opposed to \Debug\

[eelcocramer]

There is your problem. It should be compiled into Release when you use npm install.

[zavitax]

It is compiled into Release when I use npm install.

The thing is, that later I opened C:\Shared\TalkBack\Dev\Bluetooth\node_modules\bluetooth-serial-port\build\binding.sln and produced a Debug build as well.

So we've got both C:\Shared\TalkBack\Dev\Bluetooth\node_modules\bluetooth-serial-port\build\Release\BluetoothSerialPort.node produced by npm install, and C:\Shared\TalkBack\Dev\Bluetooth\node_modules\bluetooth-serial-port\build\Debug\BluetoothSerialPort.node

But the issue still exists.

[eelcocramer]

Ok, understood. You might want to check if it is compiled as a 32 bits binary (like the error message indicates). You may also want to check if you have the problem with the LTS version of Node (currently v8) instead of v9.

[zavitax]

It's compiled as 64-bit binary.

Can you describe how to check for the 2nd part?

[zavitax]

After changing build configuration and recompiling as 32-bit (both Debug and Release), I get the following error message:

Hm... my apologies. The .node files never get built when platform target is switched to Win32.

[eelcocramer]

The thing is that the windows support is community contributed and I cannot test it myself. If I look at the automatic build script we use appveyor.yml I notice that it uses Visual Studio 2015. Maybe VS2017 introduces a problem?

[eelcocramer]

Maybe the logs from the automated builds are helpful: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/eelcocramer/node-bluetooth-serial-port

Tried npm install bluetooth-serial-port with VS2015 developer command prompt.

Got this:

Tried building with VS2015, configuring Win32 platform.

Got this:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev14.query?appId=Dev14IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k(LNK1112)&rd=true

LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'
Project: BluetoothSerialPort
File: node.lib (node.exe)
Line: 1

Perhaps this supports only 32-bit versions of node.exe ?

Maybe. The automatic build seems to work with both 32 as 64 bits versions but it looks like the module compiles to 32 bits.

I've changed the automated build configuration to include more recent versions of node and to use VS2017. On the build server everything seems to build fine: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/eelcocramer/node-bluetooth-serial-port/build/1.0.177

I've created an issue (#174) to included pre-build binaries in published versions of this module. That may be more friendly to users. Do not expect this to be available soon though.
