[BUG]Installation Error on Torch while Torch is Installed

But Torch is clearly installed:

C:\>python

I have tried --no-build-isolation as mentioned in #3329, but it continues to have error:

in installed_cuda_version
          raise MissingCUDAException("CUDA_HOME does not exist, unable to compile CUDA op(s)")
      op_builder.builder.MissingCUDAException: CUDA_HOME does not exist, unable to compile CUDA op(s)

I have also noticed #7286, but no solution was reached.

I was expecting the latest version could have better support for Windows compatibility as 3329 was closed.
