I get the error above everytime i try to install it.

Fixes i tried:

https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup/issues/800

Installing different versions of Python 2.7.XXX and tried it with the latest python.

also adjusted Microsoft visual versions according to python versions.

Here the Code where it starts to fail:

not sure how to run yowsup with Visual C++ for Python, try running with python2 or python3 instead..

example: "C:\Python27\python.exe" yowsup.py....

you also need the dependencies installed with pip....
