Installation error (Building wheel for lz4 (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.)

[jtindlebaum]

Hello,

I wonder if you can give your feedback regarding this error.

While installing cs-dlp on a Windows 11 PC, and get this error message about building wheel for lz4 failure. After installing Microsoft C++ Build Tools, I get the same error.

(On the previous PC -- running Windows 10 -- the installation went smoothly!)

Here is the full error message:

Building wheel for lz4 (pyproject.toml) ... error

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Thank you for your feedback.
