Windows Build/Link Error

[PNeigel]

I'm on Windows and I'm getting the following error:

Interesting is the bold fatal error, it's trying to open a compiled .obj, but every directory in \build\temp.win-amd64-3.7\Release\Files\ is empty, so apparently it's trying to link before compiling anything.

I'm on pytorch 1.6, CUDA 10.2, cudatoolkit 10.2.89, torchvision 0.7 and Windows 10

exactly the same issue on my Win10 computer, did you manage it QwQ?

Update 2021/2/16: Solved by changing torch version to 1.2.0

Hi, I get the same issue with torch==1.7.1, cuda==11.0 on windows, have you managed it or any suggestions? Thanks!
