I have downloaded these 2 files till now, please help!!! @Jeanine Zhang-MSFT

Please tell me how you did this, I have the same problem

@anthonyj did you get an answer to your question since this post?

The component can be found to the far right of the launcher's gui, or under "Individual Components".

Installing the SDK did not solve the problem for me though.
The problem hasn't gone away, even though I tried everything that has been suggested.

What helped me to get past that was using Anaconda (I'm using the mini version - Miniconda), and following this.
At the Conda command prompt, type SET DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64 and hit enter. Then try what you were doing.

Of course you need to replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64 with your build-tools path and architecture. See this link - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/advanced_installation.html#building-from-source
