install fails on Windows 7

[PavelKotov1]

Hello!
Seems like I am following installation instructions to the letter, but install still fails with this error:
ERROR: Command "'c:\program files (x86)\python37-32\python.exe' -u -c 'import setuptools, tokenize;file='"'"'D:\cygwin64\tmp\pip-install-wb408v9s\unicorn-unipacker\setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record 'D:\cygwin64\tmp\pip-record-t15lv_bc\install-record.txt' --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in D:\cygwin64\tmp\pip-install-wb408v9s\unicorn-unipacker\

Could somebody please help? Thanks in advance!

It happens because our unicorn-engine fork somehow won't compile on Windows. This is a known issue, but we currently do not have access to a Windows machine for thorough debugging. We tried to create a precompiled pypi package for Windows, but at the moment only the Linux and Mac builds work on our CI platform. We will continue investigating Windows builds, but for the moment I would suggest to use the Docker version if you are on Windows. I think this should work without further problems. Otherwise you could try using Unipacker in Windows Subsystem for Linux

Tried it on Debian, worked like magic!
Thanks for the great tool!
Kind Regards, pk

Thanks! I'm glad it works for you now!

Just a quick heads up: We are now using a new unicorn engine version which fixes the Windows build. Installing unipacker on Windows should thus work now.
