I am getting the same error on ubuntu. I am using node 5.3.0.

[shanalikhan]

u found any solution to this problem ?

Please make sure you have all the build prerequisites installed. I cannot reproduce this.

@Nosherwan for sure you are seeing a different error, since @shanalikhan1's error is very specific to Windows (The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.). If you see an error, please create a separate issue.
