Running Trac 1.6 on a Windows 11 machine. Trac runs without any issues. I've installed several plugins without any issues. 

Yes, I know, Windows, it is the environment I'm forced to use.

However when I try to install the CustomFieldAdminPlugin using the command:

I get the following errors:

C:\Users\jm\Downloads\Trac_Plugins>pip install svn+https://trac-hacks.org/svn/customfieldadminplugin/1.2

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed to build 'svn+https://trac-hacks.org/svn/customfieldadminplugin/1.2' when getting requirements to build wheel

Can't figure out why this plugin installation is failing when all the other plugins I use install without issue.

Thanks,

Try --no-build-isolation option for pip install.

E.g.
pip install --no-build-isolation
