I just installed Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 and restarted my pc. It's missing a file called basetsd.h, is there a way to download that file and put it where it belongs manually?

I also get this problem. Any solutions?

I also can't download using pip, but I have solved it. You can try to download this repo and then

python setup.py install

in the path of the repo, I solved it like this

Hope you have solved the problem
