I am using Windows10 x64, I have installed spaCy using pip and the installation was successful. pip list gives me spacy (1.9.0) and I can find the spacy folder in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages.
But whenever I try import spacy at PyCharm, or
python -c "import os; import spacy; print(os.path.dirname(spacy.__file__))" at the command line, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

After some search online, I saw that most of the suggestions have to do with the visual C++ redistributable packages installed. I am not familiar with this, so here is a screenshot of what I have:
They are only visible in the control panel. If I go to %windir%/System32 or %windir%/Program Files there's no folder named MS Visual Studio. Could someone help me with this issue? Thank you in advance.
