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,
I could solve this problem by downloading and installing the latest Windows 10 SDK from this link: https://software-download.microsoft.com/download/pr/19041.685.201201-2105.vb_release_svc_prod1_WindowsSDK.iso
and the basetsd.h file appeared in the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\shared
