Visual Studio Code – Installation of sklearn / scipy fails in Pycharm IDE with could not find vswhere.exe

I am trying to install sklearn/scipy/scikit-learn for a project in my windows laptop with Pycharm but it keeps failing with below error. When I try pip install sklearn from terminal it goes through but the program is not working and complaining still with the module not found error.

Not sure, why it’s failing with pycharm… Getting this error, which I am not sure what this is

*"WARNING: Failed to activate VS environment: Could not find C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual StudioInstallervswhere.exe"*
