Python is struggling to find a C++ compiler that matches the compiler that was used to compile your version of Python for Windows. For Python 3.5 on Windows, you need Visual C++ 14.0. A quick fix for this version is to install Visual Studio Community 2015.

Otherwise, see here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers#Microsoft_Visual_C.2B-.2B-_14.0_standalone:_Visual_C.2B-.2B-_Build_Tools_2015_.28x86.2C_x64.2C_ARM.29
