It is trying to build bcrypt from source, but you don't have the necessary tools installed for it to do so.

Try installing the Visual C++ Build Tools first, which can be done using the following convenience npm package:

npm install -g windows-build-tools

Once that is complete, run npm install bcrypt again.
