Apologies if there is something obvious I'm missing, I've actually never encountered this error before using npm:

C:\work\spark3>npm install mailparser
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mailparser
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/mailparser
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/encoding
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mime

I have tried the following on my Windows machine after scouring the web:

  • Reinstalling Node.js
  • Reinstalling Python 2.7
  • Ensuring the path for Python is set
  • Updating npm
  • Installing Visual C++ Express 2010
  • Installing node-gyp globally

node.js
The problem is actually with the iconv module which, according to its GitHub page, "may or may not work with Windows". Since mailparser declares it as an optional dependency, try downloading the mailparser source and remove iconv from package.json as a dependency. – robertklep
Ahh I see, wasn't sure if it was a problem with iconv or node-gyp. I'll give that a shot - thanks robert – Mo Kargas
Robert, do you want to add this as an answer so I can accept it? – Mo Kargas
