I had this issue as well. To fix it, I set the npm_config_node_gyp variable to point to the node-gyp executable and ran node-gyp rebuild in the node_modules\node-expat folder. e.g.
export npm_config_node_gyp=C:\\Users\\781990\\AppData\\Roaming\\nvm\\v6.11.0\\node_modules\\node-gyp\\bin\\node-gyp.js
cd node_modules\node-expat
node-gyp rebuild
