Installation Issues in Windows

[vishnu67sankar]

Hello,
I tried out the installation guidelines however some kind of CMake error (attached below) still persists. I am trying to download through the base environment of Anaconda3, which uses Python 3.9.12. The following are the version of the packages already available:

• gcc/gfortran/g++ - 6.3.0
• scikit-build - 0.15.0
• cmake - 3.24.2

I also created distutils.cfg in PYTHONPATH\Lib\distutils. I looked into the CMakeOutput.log file which says "The system is: Windows - 10.0.19044 - AMD64"

Error attached below:
