The library needs the VC v14+ runtime library, not VS build tools. You can get the runtime from the MS downloads page. Install the VS 2015/2017/2019 redist as it is the latest version.

In the error, it was mentioned that Build tools 14.0 or greater is required, but i have figured out the problem, I just needed to download the windows 10 sdk as well along with latest build tools.

Please tell me how you did this, I have the same problem

@anthonyj did you get an answer to your question since this post?

The component can be found to the far right of the launcher's gui, or under "Individual Components".

Installing the SDK did not solve the problem for me though.
The problem hasn't gone away, even though I tried everything that has been suggested.

What helped me to get past that was using Anaconda (I'm using the mini version - Miniconda), and following this.
At the Conda command prompt, type SET DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64 and hit enter. Then try what you were doing.

Of course you need to replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64 with your build-tools path and architecture. See this link - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/advanced_installation.html#building-from-source

Hi guys, I wrote a blog post on this issue years ago.

You can find it at https://zs.fyi/archives/python-vc-14-0-error.html.

If you can't read Chinese, feel free to translate it into your language.

The easiest way to solve this problem is by installing Build Tools for Visual Studio and the optional modules that are checked by default. It's a quick and easy solution.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.
