Could you please specify your python version, again?

[Enakshi-1998]

It's 3.8.0(I uninstalled my 3.10 and installed this version to run docanalysis)

[Enakshi-1998]

@ShweataNHegde is there any solution to this error?

In my opinion, this is a common python c++ library error. Check out https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers#Microsoft_Visual_C.2B-.2B-_14.2_standalone:_Build_Tools_for_Visual_Studio_2019_.28x86.2C_x64.2C_ARM.2C_ARM64.29
