--ignore-scripts won't help. We need to run the build script to place the binaries at the desired location.
Lets track this issue here: #467.

[Subash]

It should and it used to work. If i am not wrong, npm install already installs the latest prebuilt binary for latest node.

[smohadjer]

I still see this error on windows 7 64-bit when using latest grunt-sass npm package. Here is what I see in Node console:

Loading "sass.js" tasks...ERROR
Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
c:\test\node_modules\grunt-sass\node_modules\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-11\binding.node

Please follow the steps in our troubleshooting guide and paste the output
into a gist.

I have the same problem, which is fixed by reinstalling the node-sass.

[saper]

@Subash you are installing ancient version of node-sass, the current version is node-sass@3.3.3

[mariorandrade]

I'm having the same issue and I'm using node 5.6.0 and node-sass 3.8.7 on Windows 7 64 Bit with visual studio 15.

"Restore packages" did not work.

Here's the current output:

[13:29:08] gulp-inject 21 files into app.scss.

What is causing this error?

[small-carbon]

What is the reason for the error

[mariorandrade]

This issue stopped happening after after installing es6-promise.

I've added this line on gulpfile.js

var promise = require('es6-promise').polyfill();

right after

var gulp = require('gulp');

[daisyHawen]

I have met this problem before.
And I refreshed my node.js.
then
npm install node-sass
It's done.

Or you can try
npm rm node-sass
npm install node-sass

[yihou]

@daisyHawen yay, you are right, I had the same issue and I reinstall local node-sass and its working now. Thanks

[ErisoHV]

@daisyHawen Thanks, it works
npm rm node-sass
npm install node-sass

[iwantmadaxe]

after replace the python 3.6.0 to 2.7.0 it's ok

[CurryChou777]

@Subash it is Ok

[wangaimin]

thanks.it is OK

[stephenykk]

win7 64 node7.9
try reinstall node-sass, but not work; the lastest version is 4.5.x;
try the old version npm i node-sass@3.11.0, so cool, it just works!!
but i don't understand what happen inside..

[Y2KPRABU]

Issue is here there is a file named %ur proj path%\node_modules\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-48\binding
this binding file is supposed to be an exe.
but sometimes its blocked by proxies or nw errors. so I downloads a file not found html file instead.
so the solution is to delete this file and remove node-sass and re install it
