Please provide the entire, verbose log (add --verbose to the npm command). Put it inside triple ticks so the formatting works:

```
like this, output goes here
```

Also: what's your Windows version and Visual Studio version?

I also suspect that the error is accurate

error MSB4014: System.ArgumentException: The name "plugin:CLToolExe=clang-cl. exe" contains an invalid character ".".

Please can you post the file C:\Users\danny\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\llnode\build\binding.sln

Facing same issue.
There is some docs about the error - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/how-to-build-specific-targets-in-solutions-by-using-msbuild-exe?view=vs-2022#to-build-a-specific-target-of-a-specific-project-in-a-solution

nodejs/node-gyp@53d8cb9 (nodejs/node-gyp#1164) should be the cause.
