Error when doing first time setup on Windows

I get the following error when running the command pip install --global-option="--no-networks" git+https://github.com/NVlabs/tiny-cuda-nn/#subdirectory=bindings/torch imageio_download_bin freeimage on Windows 10:

Hi @Graham956,

It's pretty hard to say, but a common error is that CUDA 11.3 (toolkit) doesn't work on the most recent versions of visual studio. You'll notice it on the C++ compilation reporting lots of errors in the stdlib headers. I'm using the more recent 11.6 version of the toolkit, but still have the 11.3 version of Pytorch, so I would suggest upgrading to the latest version and trying again. If it still doesn't work, please inquire at the tiny-cuda-nn github page as the compilation error is in that package.

i have the same mistake and it worked when i uninstall my VS2019 16.11 and reinstall VS2019 16.9.4, maybe it can help you.

Great! I'am de-/installing here for hours, with no success. So that trick worked. Thank you!

PS: Only the build tools are needed from that Version of Visual Studio. For persons like me, without a professional subscription, is no download of the full version of VS2019 Community available.
So here is the direkt link to the exact build tools version:

Yes that worked! Thank you @cx-zzz. Also I had cuda 11.1 installed and installing 11.3 instead.
