Installing Scrapy on Windows can be a real struggle.

That's why the scrapy documentation recommands to use Anaconda for the scrapy installation. I think you should give it a try if you are working on Windows.

First you need to install Anaconda following this tutorial.

Then you just need to run this command conda install -c conda-forge scrapy and you are good to go.
