Installation on Windows wrong.

[LiYan-pro]

Bug description

When I want to use pip install pin or conda install pinocchio -c conda-forge to install pin on Windows with conda, I had never succeed.
Here is my infer, it seems like pin needs Boost dependency but Boost can not be install on Windows automatically, and I don't know how to install this dependency manually.

Expected behavior

I need a help with how to install pin on Windows conda enviroment.

Additional context

[nim65s]

pip packaging does not support windows, because I don't know how to work with this system.
I'll let others answer for conda, but I think it is expected to work out of the box.

However, the standard workaround is to use WSL, and use any linux supported install scheme inside windows: conda, nix, pip, robotpkg, or ros.

[jcarpent]

For conda, have you tried from a clean env?
In this case, could you share the resulting error code? You did only for pip which is not expected to work as mentioned by @nim65s.

I will close this issue as there is no feedback from @LiYan-pro
