Similar issue, but I think it could be related. Installation works fine for me on my primary windows machine, but when I tried installing on a different machine it threw the same error. I replicated Python libraries (version-locked) & Visual C++ distributables. Eventually, with enough distributables that error went away, but then it caused a new one...
When building 'fairseq.libbase' extension, many C++ warnings appear before finally throwing an error that
exit code 1120: the Microsoft Visual Studio's 2022 VC Tool's link.exe failed due to 2 unresolved externals.
Been debugging this for a week, thought I was the only one!
Trying to install on Windows 10 and also getting linker errors: balanced_assignment.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _imp___tls_offset?init@?1??lazy_init_num_threads@internal@at@@YAXXZ@4_NA balanced_assignment.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _imp___tls_index?init@?1??lazy_init_num_threads@internal@at@@YAXXZ@4_NA

Apparently fairseq does not support windows and they do not have plans to support windows either. only possible solution is using Windows system for Linux (wsl) 2 If anyone else has a solution, do share!
Similar issue. It seems that their C++ code is not portable to Windows.
Painful process to install fairseq in Windows 11. None of the Header file is available. Every time, I run, I am getting one error of Header file missing or variable not declared. Installation process is going for a solid 8 hours now. No where it seems there is a full independent installation process is available.
