I tried it on a different PC I installed UHD, when I wanted to try the uhd_find_devices.exe (previously I set the UHD_IMAGE_PATH in the SYSTEM VARIABLES not USER VARIABLES as Markus mentioned in one of his posts) it told me that can't find MSVCP100.dll, after I downloaded the MSVCP100.dll it asked for MSVCR100.dll, after that it started with some error saying that it wasn't able to locate an entry point into MSVCR100.dll. So, unfortunatelly it's not working.
I tried to check if gnuradio is OK, yes I have the most recent installer. I have tested python.exe -c "from gnuradio import gr" and python.exe -c "from gnuradio import uhd". It can't find the path to the DLL file (like the problem of Ryan van den Bergh in one of these posts) even if I changed theyr path from User Variables Path to System Variables Path.

I checked files with Dependency walker and it reports that can't find file. To tell you the truth I don't know why it can't find DLL files, I'm making softwares for more than 5 years but only once or twice happend to have some problems with paths, anyway that's not a good practice to use hardcoded things into the application, maybe this is why it can't find the DLL files.
Thanks you very much Josh.
Best regards,
Mark.
