Particle Dev in/out Atom - cant install

Troubleshooting
1

I intended to use the Atom editor and - according to the description in other threads and this guide created the prerequisites for Windows 10 64bit with GitHub Desktop and Visual Studio Community 2017 with .Net Framework 4.7.x. However, I get the following error:

npm ERR! serialport@4.0.1 install: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the serialport@4.0.1 install script 'node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build'.
npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the serialport package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR! node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
npm ERR! You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
npm ERR! npm bugs serialport
npm ERR! Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
npm ERR! npm owner ls serialport
npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! C:\Users\Ingo\AppData\Local\Temp\apm-install-dir-117419-3708-2dj7pp.zniajg7gb9\npm-debug.log
npm ERR! code 1

Have it then as a separate download of IoT Command Center — Particle tried: I get the following error during Squirrel installation:
Snip:

Downloaded Node.Js v6.10.3 LTS for Windows which installs npm@3.10.10.
After Reboot I checked Atom to install particle-dev again: but fails again.

Begin Snip:

This external thread helps: https://github.com/spark/particle-dev/issues/151

to solve the node-gyp dependencies used the following:
On Windows: Option 1: Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft’s windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
