Cannot run sample files from picosdk-python-wrappers repository

[msiddiq7]

I have installed picosdk and the required libraries to run the example code posted at:
https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-python-wrappers

But for some reason, I get this error (see attached) and have no idea what the issue is.

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Have you followed the setup steps in the README file?

Have you got the same bit version of the PicoSDK as your installed python?

I have done all these things. I'm on a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 (Windows operating system) attempting to operate a PicoScope 9402-05. I installed the 64-bit software found here:

https://www.picotech.com/downloads/_lig ... cosample-4

The "python setup.py install" command didn't work (posting error below) but still managed to run "import picosdk" from inside the cloned github folder. I figured I was just dealing with an environment variable issue so I modified my PYTHONPATH system variable to include the "C:\Users\(myUser)\picosdk-python-wrappers" directory.

I can now import picosdk in my terminal freely but when I try to run:
"from picosdk.discover import find_all_units"

I get the above error also. I'm out of ideas. Could someone please help? WHat am I doing wrong?

P.S. WHen I do try running "python setup.py install" I get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 19, in
