Installing Microsoft Visual C++ Build tools - doens't guarantee that It solve this issues (works differently depending on windows version, and version of Microsoft Visual C++)

Answer 2

The error says everything. You have to download Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools for get rid of from this error. You can download this from here. There is no need to download visual studio for this.
