pip install error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required

I have Python 3.4, running on Windows 10 x64, trying to install pylint via pip: pip install pylint.

When doing so, I get the following error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1": www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=8279

However I already have:

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64, Microsoft Visual C++ x86 both Redistributable
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x64, Microsoft Visual C++ x86 both Redistributable
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 x64, Redistributable
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 x64, Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 x86 both Redistributable

I saw some other posts with possible solutions that I've tried and did not seem to help to me -

  • updating setuptools and virtualenv

  • Downloading the SDK given in the error

  • Add VS110COMNTOOLS, VS120COMNTOOLS, VS140COMNTOOLS env variables

Of course, after every attempt I've rebooted my PC.

What else could I try to fix this?

Is it possible to install pylint without pip?
