Do I miss anything?

Start by reproducing installation of api-blueprint-preview 0.7.0 in Atom on Windows and follow the dependency chain to runas@3.1.1 and its node-gyp rebuild. Check whether the reported Python configuration failure is reproducible and whether the package can install successfully; done means the installation completes without the node-gyp configure error.
