I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Description

Bug Summary:
Cannot just install compressed_rtf on Windows, as it now requires full recompile which doesn't work https://github.com/delimitry/compressed_rtf/issues/17

Run python -m pip install open-webui from scratch with clean python
on Windows

python -m pip install compressed_rtf produces the same error
