pip install fails on Windows 10, despite having latest C++ build tools installed

See original GitHub issue

Any ideas how to fix this?

I first got an error saying to install Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 14.0 or later build tools. I installed them from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Here is the checkbox I ticked for the build tools. Which version of MSVC does yappi require?

❯ pip install yappi --no-cache-dir
