Hi guys, i have a hard time to install web3 by using the command "pip install web3" as it is mentionned in the video at 3:53hours.
It starts to install well the first packages and then i have the following error :

I tried to install MCV C++ 14.0 by following the link but still the same.

I faced the same issue so I downloaded Visual Studio Installer and installed the C++ Development Kit and restarted my system.

[titi-devv]

Problem solved, thx guys !

[PatrickAlphaC]

Awesome! How did you solve it?

@AlbertoSinigaglia thanks for this I had the same problem on a previous laptop as well as this one. I knew from previous experience I had to find a download from Microsoft to fix it - but just couldn't remember what it was - you save me a lot of grief!! Thanks.

Number 2 - The YouTube video was easy to follow. Just download the Visual Studio Installer and installed the C++ Development Kit and restarted my system now works.
