Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required

When I want to install packages, including Jupyter, I get the error that Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. I get the same error with Pip and pre-compiled binaries on UC website.

I have Visual Studio 17 express installed and I have manually added the path of vcvarsall to my environment.

I also saw solution to update the VS###COMMONTOOLS, however VS###COMMONTOOLS variable doesn't exist.

I am using Windows Server 2012.

How can I proceed?

Leaving this here for the next time I run into this problem. For me, builds were failing via CI (Jenkins), but working for my user. Eventually I figured out that VCPython doesn't install system wide. I had to use runas to open a command prompt as the Local System user and then run the installer from that command prompt. Hopefully this helps someone else!
