Error trying to Install Windows Build tools

When I run npm run windows-intall aka

npm install -g --production windows-build-tools && npm install --production

I get the following error. I've got python 3.8.2 installed, Node v14.0.0 x64 installed, Powershell added to path [in environment variables, User variables/System Variables, PATH]. Windows Build tools downloaded from VScommunity. I downloaded Windows dev too the universal option.(Haven't restarted PC yet)

Here is the error I got:

node ./dist/index.js
