(Error -2) installing ESP-IDF Universal Online Installer 2.3

Hi all,

I am trying to install the ESP-IDF windows installer which was pointed from the docs.espressif.com website.
Upon installing the application, I am getting Error -2. Upon looking at the setup log it is failing on installing the windows-curses module.
I tried searching this error online but come up with limited searches. One site leads to being unsupported module (For the older version 2.2.0) for python version 3.10.

Could someone help me/ point me in the right direction with this error/ installation error. I did try different IDF versions, but they report the same error.
