failed to install insightface

[DiegoRRR]

Can somebody please help?
I am trying to install insightface in Forge Classic. It says:
Failed to install insightface; please manually install C++ build tools first

When I try to install it manually with
pip install insightface==0.7.3
it says

Step 1: Download the Build Tools installer

Open the official website link (the address in your error message): https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
Click the Download Build Tools button to download vs_buildtools.exe (about 1MB, which will download core components online).

Step 2: Run the installer and select key components

1. Double-click to run vs_buildtools.exe and wait for the installer to initialize.
2. In the Workloads tab, check Desktop development with C++ (mandatory! This is the core component).
3. There’s no need to check additional components such as Visual Studio core editor to reduce the installation size.
4. Click Install in the upper right corner and wait for the components to be downloaded and installed (about 4-8GB, depending on the network condition).
5. After the installation is complete, click Restart (or manually restart your computer) to make the configuration take effect.
