As part of upgrading a C++ (Microsoft Visual Studio 2010) with nodejs application from node 0.10.26 to node LTS 18.12.1, to compile and build C++ addons, we used node-gyp(node-gyp@9.3.1., Python version 3.11.1. and VS2019 (16.11.32929.386)), when doing node-gyp build, getting below errors:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\shared\rpcndr.h(192,14): error C2872: 'byte': ambiguous symbol
