Error Installing Requirements

[jtayl711]

I'm getting the following error when trying to install requirements. I tried installing Visual C++ 14 as recommended but that didn't seem to fix anything.

Hey @jtayl711, Windows isn't exactly my forte, but I've updated the requirements to a newer versions and I was wondering if you were still seeing this error?

Hey, I'm closing this issue as I can't reproduce it, but if someone sees this happen again, feel free to open it again and drop any more info here.
