cannot rebuild with node-gyp

[MathijsvVelde]

OS: Windows 7 32-bit
Node: v6.2.2
Npm: v3.10.3
Node-gyp: v3.4.0

addition stuff installed:

• Visual C++ Build Tools
• .NET Frameworks 4.5.1
• Python 2.7

I got an error while installing a project:

C:\Users\Le-Me\Documents\Projects\Player-app\app>npm rebuild

I updated and reinstalled node-gyp, but I'm still getting that error.
Can you help me trying to fix this?

Thanks!!

The error indicates something went really wrong while trying to locate python.exe. What happens when you pass --python=\path\to\python.exe on the command line?

I think that worked, a little bit...
next error:
