Error installing @forge/cli onto Windows 10 in enterprise environment

Forge Forge Platform and Tools
1

Hello,
we are trying to install the latest Forge-cli-version onto Windows 10 in an enterprise environment and are facing errors that seem not to be addressed by (or related to) the enterprise-guide. After facing issues with node-gyp we tried the installation manually beforehand, but the rebuilding of node-gyp gets started still and the error regards a missing project file from MSBUILD:

Versions:

  • node 22.14.0
  • python 3.13.2
  • node-gyp 11.0.0
  • VS2022 build tools

Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

Hey Julia,

Thanks for raising this. Just to clarify, is this the first time you are installing the CLI onto this particular environment, or did a previous version work?

Hi Dylan,
thank you for your response. This is the first time.

Gotcha
I take it you were referring to this guide?

Could you try out these steps. and let me know if that helps?

Hi Dylan,
sorry for my late response, I needed to wait for my colleague. According to him we don’t use a proxy, so the commands for setting one don’t apply to us. He tried clearing the cache and forcing the installation. The result was a different error:
