Issue while pip installing p4p (Windows 11)

[nellomellow99]

Hey everybody,

When trying to install python packages with pip (p4p, epicscorelibs) I get an error message indicating that Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required.
If I then try to download Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 14.0 using the Microsoft C++ Build Tools (Desktop Development with C++), the installation fails:

I have selected the following in the installation details of “Desktop Development with C”:

I use Windows 11 as my operating system, but my colleagues who use Windows 10 do not have this problem.

I am happy about every hint and especially if someone has a potential workaround.

Best,
Nelson

Sorry, I didn't notice this issue when it came in.

Which python version(s) have you tried?

You should not need MSVC to make use of the pre-built wheel binaries.

Do you intend to do a source built?

Currently I provide pre-built wheels on windows/amd64 for py 3.5 -> 3.11.
