Answer 1

Just had the same issue while using the latest Python 3.6. With Windows OS 10 Home Edition and 64 Bit Operation System

Steps to solve this issue :

1. Uninstall any versions of Visual studio you have had, through Control Panel
2. Install Visual Studio 2015 and chose the default option that will install Visual C++ 14.0 on its own
3. You can use Pycharm for installing scrapy ->Project->Project Interpreter->+ (install scrapy)
4. check scrapy in REPL and pycharm by import , you should not see any errors
