Install on Windows 11

Hi,

I have used delvewheel before and it worked great! Thank you for developing and maintaining this.

Something must have changed, because now when I pip install delvewheel on Windows 11 and try to use it I get the following error:

PS C:\Users\galab\source\repos\ERGO-Code\HiGHS\build\highspy> delvewheel

I tried on a couple different machines and on a virtual machine with Windows 10 and I still get the same error.

Do you know how I can fix this one?

Thank you,
Ivet

This looks like the same issue as pre-commit/pre-commit#1830, which is specific to the Windows Store version of Python. If you use a version of Python installed from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ or from https://www.nuget.org/packages/python, then the issue should not occur. Or you could create a virtual environment and try running delvewheel in the virtual environment instead.

In the meantime, I will work on a fix for this.

Thank you so much for the quick response, installing python from python.org did the trick!
