Error: missing tool for os.windows.x86_32 in meteor-tool@1.6.0

Question

Just upgraded meteor on Windows 10.

• Uninstalled old version.
• Deleted old AppData/local/.meteor directory
• Reinstalled using choco install meteor

Now when I attempt to update my old project I get the following error message.

Error: missing tool for os.windows.x86_32 in meteor-tool@1.6.0

How can I solve this? Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

Using the command meteor update --release 1.6 solved the same problem for me. Try this.

Answer 2

I'm not sure this is a correct behavior, but I've managed to fix this by editing project's .meteor/release and replacing its content by

METEOR@1.6

Then I've executed "meteor" (without "update") and it installed/upgraded the necessary packages. The project I'm currently developing starts and works ok so far.
