Have you considered putting this package on a language-agnostic package manager like conda? I'm a big fan of this package but I've only gotten it working by copying the whole project over, or using the wheel file. The wheel works well, but it doesn't seem as repeatable as spinning up an env with conda create -n myEnv -c conda-forge python=3.8 pydsstools.
This is as far as I was able to get in the setup from source. I tried uninstalling visual studio 2022 and moving back to 2019, still no luck:

Currently, I have no plans to put the package in conda. You can install the package in conda environment by activating the environment first and running "pip install wheel_file" command.
