fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'io.h': No such file or directory

Question

I'm trying to install a program from pip install SimPEGEM1D and I getting the error " fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'io.h': No such file or directory" I already have tried the suggestion from 'io.h': No such file or directory

but didn't work, I have visual studio 2017 and anaconda. I went to my directory and there is no io.h file there, so did I miss something when I installed visual studio? How do I fix that?

Answer 1

TL;DR: Update or reinstall Visual Studio https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

I'm sure you've already solved this problem given the time discrepancy. However, I ran into this problem today and found my solution by reinstalling Visual Studio.

Error I was receiving:

h(59): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'io.h': No such file or directory

Please note I also tried the following before reinstalling Visual Studio:

1. Pip/Pip3
2. Wheels
3. Setuptools
4. (verified Environment PATH/variables)

As of current Time and Date, you will be able to find the most up-to-date version of Visual Studio cpp-Build-Tools here:https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
