Pip wheels not working on windows

I am trying to install the brambox package in order to be able to then use lightnet. My configuration is :

Windows 10

If I perform the pip install command, then I get the following error :

File "C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-8k7g33nr\brambox\setup.py", line 21, in get_version
        with open('VERSION', 'r') as f:
    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'VERSION'
    ----------------------------------------
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.

Ok so I tried to install from a local version by downloading the .zip of the package and then installing via the command pip install path/to/brambox.zip which then issued me some error with visual basic tools 14.0.0 missing. I installed those tools. Re-run the command again. Now I get the following error :

I tried launching the visual tools commands manually e.g. C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/BuildTools/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.24.28314/bin/HostX86/x64/link.exe and it seems to work properly.

Any idea what could be wrong ?
