Could not rebuild native dependencies Failed to execute command

[shandilyav]

I was getting this error with VS Code version 1.4,
Failed to activate extension: Failed to execute command "npm" with arguments "rebuild, grpc, --target=7.3.2, --runtime=electron, --update-binary, --fallback-to-build, --target_arch=x64, --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron" return code 1

so as per solution given in the comment #1621 (comment), I moved to lower version of VS Code Version: 1.39.2.
Now I am getting this error : -

Could not rebuild native dependencies Failed to execute command "npm" with arguments "rebuild, grpc, --target=4.2.12, --runtime=electron, --update-binary, --fallback-to-build, --target_arch=x64, --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron" return code 1. Please ensure that you have node and npm installed

I am using IBM Blockchain platform VSCode extension to develop my contracts and get locally tested before deploying to the Azure ABS HLF service.

Due to these errors I am unable to use it on my Windows 10 machine.

I tried one more solution mentioned here about rebuilding npm-
Upgrade node-gyp (#1621 (comment))
