Installation fails on Windows if python 3 is installed due to node-gyp plugin requirements

The full error message (one of several raised during installation):

This problem is not related to this app, node-gyp is used by nodejs and is not compatible with python 3. You will have the same error with every project that use nodejs. You can install a portable version of python 2 and override your path with the path to the version 2 to use nodejs.
