Installation Failed on Windows for Latest Version

[RiwiHow]

• I have searched the issue tracker and believe that this is not a duplicate.

The version of Python installed on my computer is 3.13.0.

Steps to reproduce

1. run (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://pdm-project.org/install-pdm.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python -

Actual behavior

The following error was encountered:

Building wheels for collected packages: msgpack
  Building wheel for msgpack (pyproject.toml): started
  Building wheel for msgpack (pyproject.toml): finished with status 'error'
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  Building wheel for msgpack (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.
  exit code: 1

  [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for msgpack

ERROR: ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (msgpack)

I tried to follow the link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ to install Microsoft C++ Build Tools, but it still does not work.

Expected behavior

The command can install PDM correctly.

Can you install msgpack with pip on Python 3.13?

[RiwiHow]

Thank you for your reply. There is no issue when installing with pip.

PS C:\Users\User> pip install msgpack
Collecting msgpack
  Using cached msgpack-1.1.0-cp313-cp313-win_amd64.whl.metadata (8.6 kB)
Downloading msgpack-1.1.0-cp313-cp313-win_amd64.whl (75 kB)

@RiwiHow can you also try if you can pip install msgpack==1.0.8 since that's the version the script installs

Anyway now you can run (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://pdm-project.org/install-pdm.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python - --no-frozen-deps to work it around.

Thank you! I tried installing version 1.0.8 of msgpack, and it indeed results in an error：

Building wheels for collected packages: msgpack

Additionally, I noticed that the recommended installation method for Windows differs between the Chinese and English versions of the documentation. Was this intentional? Also, the Chinese version of the documentation does not include the uninstallation method.
Chinese:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://pdm-project.org/install-pdm.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | py -

English:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://pdm-project.org/install-pdm.py | py -"

The Chinese version is maintained by community and may not be up-to-date.

Okay, thank you. 🫡
