Visual Studio Code – ERROR: Failed building wheel for imagededup

I need to install this package to build an image recognition tool.
I tried reinstalling Python and also Visual Studio Build Tools, but cannot successfully install Imagededup. It always gives me the wheel error.
I am driving nuts but my skills are basic so might be missing something basic.
I am using Python 3.12.1

I need to install this package to build a image recognition tool.
I tried reinstalling Python and also Visual Studio Build Tools but cannot sucessfully install Imagededup, always gives me the wheel error.
I am driving nuts but my skills are basic so might be missing something basic.

    this error typically occurs when the Python package contains a C extension module (in your case, brute_force_cython_ext) that needs to be compiled during installation. The compiler required to build these C extensions on Windows is Microsoft Visual C++.

    In-order to resolve your issue, you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools 14.0 or greater, which includes the necessary compiler. You can download it from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

    Apparently the brute_force_cython_ext extension cannot be compiled with your setup. While this needs to be fixed somewhere else, you could consider using Python 3.11 for now. I was able to install the imagededup package on Linux using Python 3.11.7, and on Windows using Python 3.11.8.
