Katherine , i am having the below issues when trying to install WISDEM and i think I Failed to install: ['akima', 'CCBlade', 'RotorSE', 'pyFrame3DD', 'pBEAM'] so i tried to install them in the interactive session and downloaded the MSVC it was requesting but then around error popped up so i was wondering if there is a way to solve this please let me know if this makes sense.

we made a small change to setup_all.py so that it should only use mingw and not try msvc; see if that helps for the wisdem setup_all install
