Error on installing karma test runner

When I trying to install karma on windows 7. I am getting following message

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 Visua
l Studio 2005 or 3) add the location of the component to the system path if it
is installed elsewhere.  [C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\karma\
node_modules\socket.io\node_modules\socket.io-client\node_modules\ws\build\bind
ing.sln]

I installed .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86) . still getting same error

  Keep

Continue
  Using
  Karma

Here's the Karma owner's (Vojta Jina) comment on the issue:

this is just optional compilation of native module to speed things up. Even without native module it will still work.

In any case, not a Karma issue, so closing. If you want to compile native modules, use linux/mac ;-)


Btw. regarding your getting the same error even after SDK install, possibly VCBuild.exe and/or C++ compiler is not added to path.
