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

Must have the most recent version of Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools. In my case it was 2017.

It's like 6GB which is unfortunate because I feel like I get 20MB worth of use from it. But that's what is needed.

It can be downloaded with Visual Studio Installer.
