Answer 1

I had the same problem when installing spaCy module. And I checked control panel I have several visual C++ redistributables installed already.

What I did was select "Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015" which is already installed on my PC --> "Modify" -->check "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015". Then it will take some time and download more than 1 GB to install it.

This fixed my issue. Now I have spaCy installed.
