install error on windows 11 64

Hi I tried to install on windows, but term return a wheels building error. I have all requirements installed (python, ndi sdk), but when I type "pip install ndi-python" in powershell or cmd, with or without admin rights, I always get an error message :

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Have you got an idea of what I should do to solve this ? Thanks

I have the problem. Can we re-open the issue? Any pointers?
