I never thought I'd be using Stack Overflow, but here I am!
I am unable to install DotEnv on Windows, when I execute pip install dotenv with its optional flags, this error is thrown:

However, I read on an older thread to install DotEnv with pip install python-dotenv but said "solution" was not a fix to my problem.
Any help is appreciated!
