@Yasila I forked pty.js a while ago to improve Windows/Node support. It's now on the latest version of winpty and should install easier. https://github.com/Tyriar/node-pty

@Tyriar Tks for the update , but now its giving some different error.

Looks like you need C++ in Visual Studio installed.

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 Visual Studio 2005 or 3) add the location of the componen

I think you want to repair your installation and then add it.

why is pty.js left in a broken build state; missing file depndancies don't just appear
