Installing ctcwordbeamsearch decoder

[Isaac Imitini]

Hi, I wish you could provide support concerning this error I am currently facing.
Using command prompt to install I always come across the error saying wheel failed to build wordbeamsearch. This is even though I have all the requirements and an updated wheel. I also have python_dev_tools installed. I have been stuck on this forever.

please read the error message. The solution is already in there. Closing because this is not an error related to the code.
