[Python] torch-scatter install failed: Getting requirements to build wheel did not run...

I am trying to install: pip install torch-scatter==2.1.1 and got the following error:

The torch 2.1.2 is properly installed and I can see it by pip list. The pip is updated (23.3.2). The setuptools is updated (69.0.3) by pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall setuptools. I also tried: pip install torch-scatter==2.1.1 -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-2.1.2+${cpu}.html got the same error.

I am running on (.venv) in windows system. Can anyone help me on issue? Thanks.
