ehm, how do I know where python is installed? 
import sys
sys.executable
If you’re upgrading to the latest version of Python for Windows 2.7.12, there is an option to add it automatically to the path.
windows-build-tools has been installing for about 8 hours:
Starting installation…
Launched installers, now waiting for them to finish.
This will likely take some time - please be patient!
Waiting for installers… -Successfully installed Python 2.7
Waiting for installers… -
Same problem for me, I tried more and more time
This worked for me:
Disable anti-virus software (Avast was giving false positives)
Install latest version of Python for Windows 2.7.12 (from https://www.python.org/downloads/)
Upgrade NodeJS to latest version 4.5 (from https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
Launch PowerShell as administrator
npm install -g node-gyp
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm install -g node-pre-gyp
npm install -g chokidar
From root of your app folder:
meteor npm install --save bcrypt
I did receive the following warning:
…\src\bcrypt.cc(232): warning C4267: ‘=’: conversion from ‘size_t’ to ‘unsigned char’, possible loss of data
but it looks like it’s working now.

but " npm install --global --production windows-build-tools " already install the python 2.7 in my system …do i need to install it again from external source ??
You can probably skip the Python step. Those are just the steps I used.
I tired but get error
npm ERR! node v4.5.0
npm ERR! npm v3.10.6
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! bcrypt@0.8.7 install: `node-gyp rebuild`

npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:

Please help me.
Did you run all the commands one by one?
Thanks for your reply, waiting for a long time with
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

That’s what node-gyp requires, without that one installed, node-gyp doesn’t work.
I had the same problem. Left it overnight and it was still waiting. I fixed it by manually downloading and installing the latest version of NodeJS for Windows. Probably not necessary but I also installed the latest version of Python.
I tried to ignore npm install --global --production windows-build-tools, and install it by manual NodeJS, Windows BT and Python.
And then install `meteor npm install --save bcrypt``in my project, but still have the same problem like above.

I solved this by following ‘rdagger’ steps, but with a slight variation.
I have used windows powershell with admin previlege
At the step meteor ‘npm install --global --production windows-build-tool’, after Python installed, I have waited a long without any status, so quit the power shell and browsed to ‘C:\Users\#user#\.windows-build-tools’, where I found ‘BuildTools_Full.exe’. I have ran it manually with default options. It also took a bit time, but atleast I can see the status.
It installed some C++ tools etc. After this, I resumed the ‘powershell’ and continued steps from ‘npm install -g node-pre-gyp’. Have ignored all the warnings! Then started meteor in my project folder. Voila!

It’s probably worth mentioning that you can totally ignore this notice and continue without any problems.
It’s just a harmless notice that the js implementation is slower than a natively built one
Thank you, it solved the issue.
Thanks! It works for me. I’m using Windows 10 64-bit.
