Trouble building and installing pytorch

torch.compile
1

I am trying to build pytorch for use with CUDA 12.
While attempting the command: python setup.py install I get 5 instances of the following error:
fatal error C1189: #error: This file was generated by an older version of protoc which is (compil
ing source file D:\Programming\pytorchSetup\build\caffe2\proto\caffe2.pb.cc) [D:\Programming\pytorchSetup\build\caffe2\proto\Caffe2_PROTO.vcxproj]

I then attempted installation using the pip install {path to pytorch local} command which ran for a long time then failed, this is the end of the log:

Thanks for your help!

Just to add onto this, when I tried to build and install pytorch using pip install (local pytorch repo), if I used max jobs = 1. It got the following error.
fatal error C1189: #error: Macro clash with min and max – define NOMINMAX when compiling your program on Windows

I have realized this is definitely not in the right category, not sure if I can move it though. Apologies.
