fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'basetsd.h'

Question

So i have been trying to install Scrapy for Python for the last couple of days. Trying anything i could think off and read everything i have come across with similar problems,

Answer 1

I had a very similiar issue involving Scrapy which also failed when it came to the Twisted part of the installation. My answer should still apply to your issue, it involves updating your SDK and making sure your .exe files are in the right location.

Got Scrapy installed in the end perfectly. Hope this helps.
