In the Installing MXNet in Windows instructions there is a paragraph:

Installing the Prebuilt Package on Windows
MXNet provides a prebuilt package for Windows. The prebuilt package includes the MXNet library, all of the dependent third-party libraries, a sample C++ solution for Visual Studio, and the Python installation script. To install the prebuilt package:

Download the latest prebuilt package from the Releases tab of MXNet.
Unpack the package into a folder, with an appropriate name, such as D:\MXNet.
Open the folder, and install the package by double-clicking setupenv.cmd. This sets up all of the environment variables required by MXNet.
Test the installation by opening the provided sample C++ Visual Studio solution and building it.
This produces a library called libmxnet.dll.

Issues

  • There are no Prebuilt Packages published at the mentioned Releases page
  • The mentioned setupenv.cmd can nowhere be found

Sure, thanks @yajiedesign. The documentation needs to be updated anyway.

@larroy @lebeg does the PR address the this issue completely or do pre-built images still need to be added to the release page?

@vishaalkapoor Yes, this still needs to be done. The windows build is far from being perfect.

@aaronmarkham

@lebeg - the instructions have been updated. However, there's no mention of these pre-built binaries in the new instructions except for the R binding. Should the guide be further updated to show users how to take advantage of the pre-built binaries for a vanilla MXNet install?
@vrakesh @ankkhedia @samskalicky - adding you all for visibility.

What are the outstanding issues for this issue? Can we have a checklist so that it is easier to keep track of progress?
