Can you confirm that the download succeeded? What happens when you try to run the installers manually?
You could also try using an older version, e.g. npm install --global --production windows-build-tools@4
and looking for more clues in the log file (C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\npm-cache_logs\2021-07-10T14_35_36_189Z-debug.log)
