What commands did you run ? And what pip version are you using ? — scharette, Jun 07 '18 at 17:21
Try to upgrade pip just in case `pip install --upgrade pip` and try again — scharette, Jun 07 '18 at 17:47

Using easy_install fancyimpute instead of pip install fancyimpute resolved my problem

After spending few hours, here is what I did. My initial error was "error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0". I installed Microsoft Visual C++ Buildtools and still got the error. Did as follows as per http://i-systems.github.io/HSE545/machine%20learning%20all/cvxpy_install/CVXPY%2BInstallation%2BGuide%2Bfor%2BWindows.html

Downloaded all the latest .whl files from
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy . I went ahead with **cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl files
Copy all the files to any folder in your windows.
Run cmd command as Administrator. Make sure there is no active jupyter notebook sessions or python sessions running

Do pip install of the files one by one. In my case, I did the following:

pip install numpy-1.15.2+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install scipy-1.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install cvxopt-1.2.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install scs-2.0.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install ecos-2.0.5-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install CVXcanon-0.1.1-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install fastcache-1.0.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install cvxpy-1.0.9-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install fancyimpute-0.4.0-py3-none-any.whl

After all these successfully installed fancyimpute in windows10.
