    You must use Visual Studio to build a python extension on windows.  If you
    are getting this error it means you have not installed Visual C++.  Note
    that there are many flavors of Visual Studio, like Visual Studio for C#
    development.  You need to install Visual Studio for C++.

Answer 1

Have you try this steps? Face-recognition on windows

Officially this package is not supporting windows but this steps might be help you.

Also the another way is you can download it's environment with virtual box on windows system. From here pre-configured VM

I guess it will help you. Thank you

Answer 2

Why don't you adopt deepface? It is more lightweight and it covers Keras based facial recognition models. In other words, it is easier to install and run.

#!pip install deepface
from deepface import DeepFace
models = ["VGG-Face", "Facenet", "OpenFace", "DeepFace", "DeepID"]
res = DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", model_name = models[0])
