Error compiling :bcrypt_elixir and :argon_elixir

I hope @AlchemistCamp’s previous suggestion to install windows-build-tools does the trick. In case it doesn’t here’s some checks you can try.

It’s been a while since I’ve fiddled with this stuff in Windows, but IIRC the number in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 sometimes changes with Visual Studio version. Does a similar path with a higher number exist on your system? If so and there’s a VC\vcvarsall.bat file in it, try that one instead.

Short of that and the previous suggestion, I’d start searching my system for header files mentioned in errors like this one:

If you need to determine what paths are actually being searched by the compiler, procmon is super useful for that. Good luck.
