I was trying to install Pycocotools into my environment. I had the same error.

It got resolved by doing the following steps:

1. Install Visual Studio 2019 which gives the paths C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64\cl.exe and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\amd64\cl.exe

2. Go to Mask_RCNN, type cd Mask_RCNN

3. In Anaconda Prompt, type pip install pycocotools

4. Install Clone of COCO, type pip install git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#egg=pycocotools^&subdirectory=PythonAPI

You'll get the following:

5. Open Jupyter notebook by typing jupyter notebook
