Incubator-mxnet: there are no setupenv.cmd in Windows Pre-built Packages.

[EGQM]

I follow the steps to install Pre-built Packages on window in http://mxnet.io/get_started/setup.html#installing-pre-built-packages-on-windows ,and find there are no setupenv.cmd in Windows Pre-built Packages in https://github.com/yajiedesign/mxnet/releases .How to install it?

[VoVAllen]

Just try python setup.py install. I believe it will work.

@VoVAllen I have tried,and it does not work.failed to import mxnet:

@yajiedesign can you give me some suggestion?

[yajiedesign]

the https://github.com/yajiedesign/mxnet/releases is upgrade package
you need to download 20160531 in https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet/releases first.

[EGQM]

@yajiedesign thank you very much!
I install 20160531_win10_x64_gpu,and test it.It works.
After I overwrite the files with Nightly Windows Release (20161029_mxnet_x64_gpu.7z) and install it again,it does not work.The error is OSError: [WinError 126] just shown above.

i'm struggling with those gpu install and will try this today. i am presuming u unzipped the file and only did setupenv.cmd

u did not have to install all the other stuff right? it is a fully contained solution? btw, i'm trying to use mxnet in R

[EGQM]

@alvinjamur
the solution is as follows:
(1)install 20160531_win10_x64_gpu. execute setupenv.cmd and python setup.py install.
(2)overwrite the files with new release vesion in https://github.com/yajiedesign/mxnet/releases
(3)overwrite the cudnn files with cudnn V4

It is ok with GPU,but not CPU.

[alvinjamur]

Thank u. And what about the R package?
I'm trying to get this to work in R.

I am also facing this issue...... now

here's the process i took:

1. download 20160531_win10_x64_gpu
2. download vc14 base package and use it to overwrite 20160531_win10_x64_gpu
3. follow the installation process, i.e. get cuda files, run setupenv.cmd, then python install.
4. test by import mxnet and it runs fine.
5. then tried to install the lastest build which is 20170802_mxnet_x64_vc14_gpu by simply python setup.py install, didn't work
6. tried to use 20170802_mxnet_x64_vc14_gpu to overwrite the vc14 base package then install, still didn't work.
   always getting the WinError 126.

@yajiedesign could you please include some clearer installation guide? "if you are first download.please download base package first" really doesn't help...
