While installing python package I get the following error even though I have latest Microsoft Visual Studio BuildTools installed.

  error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

I have added all possible paths to Path variables as well

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\Python Tools
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild
environment-variables path visual-studio

  • Installing fulll vs_BuildTools solved it for me . For details follow https://www.scivision.dev/python-windows-visual-c-14-required

  • Note MSVC vXXX - VS YYYY C++ x64/x86 build tools version and Windows 10 SDK versions must match

  • Quick solutions like instaling vc_redist.x64 or VC_redist.x86 didn't solve it for me.

  • Nothing needs to be added to environment variables.

Answer If your vscode is supported in 32 bit version, it raises when you start install some packages. I recommended you to install 64 bit vscode if you are using windows 10.
