Answer 1

You can download a corresponding whl file from Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages

For example, the latest version (as of Jan 13 2019) for your 64-bit Windows and Python3.7 version is PyICU‑2.2‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

Then open the Windows Powershell console as Administrator, cd to the directory where you put the whl file and execute the following command:

python -m pip install .\PyICU‑2.2‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

or (if you already have a previous PyICU version installed)

python -m pip install -U .\PyICU‑2.2‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

Answer 2

For the record:

My system (Win 10, 64 bit, python 3.8) gave me the exact same error message.

The solution was to install the 32-bit version of the PyICU whl file, not the 64 bit version.
