Installation difficulty on Windows starting v1.6.1

[elrandira]

Hi,

since the delivery of 1.6.1, I am facing issue to install pyjson5 on Windows. I have the following that doesn't appear with 1.6.0 ( and didn't with 1.6.0.post1).

Installing the following didn't solve the issue:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) v14.29.30139.0
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) v14.29.30139.0
• Visual Studio Build Tool 2019 v16.11.9

C:>pip install -U pyjson5

known issue: pypa/setuptools#2028

[elrandira]

as it was suggested in the issue above, installing the following makes further progress:

The magic checkbox seems to be:
"[ ] MSVC v140 - VS 2015 C++ build tools (v14.00)"

Unfortunately, if I understand the error message, the issue is now the compilation option

Thank you for informing me! I forgot to upload the pre-compiled wheels for Windows. Now it should work out-of-the-box, again.

Install passed, case close. Thank you :)

And a big thanks for implementing JSON5 in Python as well 🥇
