Problem installing quickumls on Windows

[RonWilkinson]

In attempting to install quickumls on Windows10 and Python 3.8.5 in an Anaconda environment, I get the following log:

I found instructions for successfully installing quickUMLS on Windows at the medspacy site. I'm all set.

I'm glad that our other documentation helped out. If you have other issues, let me know since I've spent a lot of hours making sure that QuickUMLS can build in various environments. Windows takes by far the most effort and care.
