Answer 1

Did you tried installing through pip? https://pypi.org/project/textract/

pip install textract

Answer 2

I was running into the same problems. I believe that it's because we're using a Windows 64-bit edition, which isn't supported for the anaconda install, as shown below:

As you can see, it only supports win-32. I'm also installing it via the pip install textract route as well.
