Cannot open include file: 'io.h': No such file or directory, Python 3.7.5, Windows 8.1, VS v 2019

Question

I am trying to install the Isotree package from pip install, when I receive the error below. I am using Python 3.7, working on a Windows 8 with installed C++ build tools using Visual studio build tools 2019 (version 16.7.5). I have also included Windows 10 SDK (10.0.18362.0) along with other add-ons.

I have tried all possible solutions I found to similar problems on this website and via other google searches, but I can't seem to get it working. Since I am working on a work laptop, I cannot go around and download from another party.

Can somebody help me how to resolve this problem? I tried setting an environment variable INCLUDE, pointing to the folder [C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0\ucrt] this helped but another error occurred, "cannot open include: basetsd.h" and then trying to solve that, the original error (io.h) came back.

Thank you for your reply. I checked out the link you send, I ran the ```pip install wheel, and that works sucessfully. Unfortunately, still not able to install isotree after that, giving rise to the same error message. — Yasmine Keehnen, Oct 16 '20 at 07:06

Thanks for your reply. I ran the code you provided, but now I have a new error. Everything is the same as mentioned above, but in stead of "cannot open include file: io.h", I get: "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'basetsd.h': No such file or directory". What can I do to solve this error? – Yasmine Keehnen Oct 16 '20 at 07:09
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23691564/ look in to the second answer hope it helps you. – BeeFriedman Oct 16 '20 at 07:37
thanks again for your quick response. I had already tried that solution but it didn't help. Do you have any other thoughts? – Yasmine Keehnen Oct 16 '20 at 09:58
