OpenSSL lib names changes, I wrote up a workaround here: Can't install loopback cli
Basically you install Win64 OpenSSL and create a symlink to the new file where expected.

C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib>mklink .\libeay32.lib "C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libcrypto.lib"
symbolic link created for .\libeay32.lib <<===>> C:\Program 'Files\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libcrypto.lib'

After that, the package should install without error.

Did you install compiler tools ? Please follow the instructions here

Or just skip reading and try these :

  1. Run Powershell as an administrator
  2. npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Then install loopback & apiconnect

Also you can refer to this issue.
