Difficulty installing on Windows #45

In trying to set up local development for CircuitPython libraries using BLE (mostly for mypy support), we were unable to install _bleio due to the following error when building pythonnet:

Cannot find the specified version of msbuild: '14'
MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '16.11.0.36601' from ... [Visual Studio 2019]

It is a known issue in pythonnet, but I wanted to leave this here in case anyone runs into a similar issue - or even better comes up with a reasonable solution!

This issue appears to be related, and there's no clear resolution while we're using pythonnet 2.5.
