[Bug] pip install tts fails

pip install tts failing on Windows

On Windows, running “pip install tts” fails with below errors in output:

Building wheels for collected packages: tts Building wheel for tts (pyproject.toml) … error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Building wheel for tts (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [1203 lines of output]

…

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for tts Failed to build tts ERROR: Could not build wheels for tts, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I already have the following installed on my machine, so looks like the above error may be misleading? Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) - 14.31.31103 Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86) - 14.30.30704

Attempts made to resolve issue:

• Downloaded and installed the Microsoft C++ Build Tools
• Using Visual Studio Installer (gets installed from previous step), installed Visual Studio Community 2022
• In Visual Studio Installer, added Workload “Desktop Development with C++”

I’m now getting error:
