Description
Following up the issue reported in the sqlite3 project https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/issues/993#issuecomment-393866080 I also want to file this problem here.
It seems that the binary download for sqlite3 installation on windows 7 x64 node 8 succeeds but there seems to be a problem during extraction.
```
node-pre-gyp info using node-pre-gyp@0.9.0
node-pre-gyp info using node@8.11.2 | win32 | x64
node-pre-gyp info check checked for "C:\Users\myuserid\Documents\webapps_SRC\test\objection\examples\express-es6\node_modules\sqlite3\lib\binding\node-v57-win32-x64\node_sqlite3.node" (not found)

```
Any idea?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the node-pre-gyp binary download and extraction on Windows 7 x64 with Node 8.11.2, using the logged sqlite3 v4.0.0 tarball request as the entry point. Trace the download/extraction failure and confirm that installation completes without falling back to node-gyp.
