Bug: Installation Broken with SetupTools>=70.0.0 on Windows

[notgriffin]

MWCP doesn't work with setuptools>=70.0.0. I have verified that this still works with setuptools==69.5.1. This issue is tracked upstream at pypa/setuptools#4399. If MWCP is updated to use a pyproject.toml for installation, then the setuptools version would be able to be specified and no longer cause opaque issues.

Thanks for the report. We'll look into switching the project to using pyproject.toml.
