Cannot install node-sass on windows

Question

Im trying to install node-sass. I have both python 3 and 2.7 installed along with the visual studio build tools yet node gyp still fails. Trying to uninstall and rebuild node-sass also gives the same result. How can i fix this. This is the command i run:

npm install node-sass

This is the error i recieve:
