Unable to install xgboost on conda-forge

Question

I tried to install xgboost on my Anaconda package on Windows 10. I'm using python 3.7. I ran the following command;

conda install -c conda-forge xgboost

I failed to do so. The error is shown below;

If I try conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost, xgboost can be installed but I prefer the xgboost package from conda-forge because it's more updated.

Unfortunately as of today, conda-forge does not yet offer a windows build for xgboost. See also the related github issue issue#3.
