How to install nodejs socket.io without this Microsoft Visual C++ error?

I am getting a very rather annoying error:

"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\b
in\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild
Building the projects in this solution one at a time. To enable parallel build,
please add the "/m" switch.
MSBUILD : error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe".
 To fix this, 1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK, 2) install Microsoft Visua
l Studio 2005 or 3) add the location of the component to the system path if it
is installed elsewhere.  [C:\myprog\node_modules\socket.io\node_modules\sock
et.io-client\node_modules\engine.io-client\node_modules\ws\build\binding.sln]

When I check my Add/remove Programs it looks like I already have:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (x64)

I have Windows 7 64-bit and am running the latest verison of nodejs (v0.10.32) installed from the 64-bit installer. How can I get around this error possibly without installing an entire copy of Visual Studio?

I saw someone mention someplace else ----Instead of compiling the binaries on server, do it on local system. This is not useful to me at all and I have no clue what to make of it.
