Can't install gym[box2d] on Windows

I'm having trouble installing gym[box2d] on Windows. I have SWIG version 4.0.2, Python version 3.11.4, VSCode version 1.81, Conda version 23.7.2, pip version 23.1.2, gym version 0.26.2, Visual C++ compiler version 19.36.32537. I've tried following advices from other threads but none worked. Does anyone have an idea?

Here's what I've tried so far, and the error messages that resulted:

I've tried every advice I could find on other threads but none solved my problem. Is the path forward installing a Linux virtual machine and doing everything there? I would really like to get over this problem so I can continue my course on Actor-Critic methods...

Thank you very much.

I too had problems with the installation on Windows. I solved them by installing "Visual Studio Installer" and the following tools:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "components": [
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Roslyn.Compiler",
    "Microsoft.Component.MSBuild",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreBuildTools",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.CoreBuildTools",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Redist.14.Latest",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22621",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.CMake.Project",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.TestTools.BuildTools",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ASAN",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.TextTemplating",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.CoreIde",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.ComponentGroup.NativeDesktop.Core",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools"
  ],
  "extensions": []
}

I remember, but I could be wrong, that SWIG is downloaded automatically from GYM.
