pyatomdb windows 11 installation wheel error

[yaldizd]

Hi,

I tried installing the package with pip install pyatomdb and got the error below. The installation still fails with different versions of Python. I have all C++ tools for Visual Studio installed. There is a similar issue here that is still open from 2022, does the package still not work with Windows?
