title: Why I'm getting errors after win_delay_load_hook.cc while npm install
body: <p>Trying to install Simplify-Docx from github.
  Getting plenty of gyp errors, can't wrap my head around.</p>

  <p>How do I track down the source of the error? I've installed pyton-java-jdk-microsoft builder kit and whatever else. Eager to give any other listings if needed, just don't know which, at the moment. Could it be that there's something wrong with my MSBuild.exe path? 'where msbuild' shows the correct path though. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
