title: How do you install glpk-solver along with pyomo in Winpython
body: <p>I want to use "pyomo" for my studies. I installed pyomo via <code>easy_install</code>
  <a href="https://software.sandia.gov/trac/coopr/downloader/download/file/64/CooprInstallGuide.pdf" rel="nofollow">coopr install instructions</a>, Pyomo needs a solver to work so I wanted to install the 
  (GNU Linear Programming Kit) <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/" rel="nofollow">glpk_webpage</a>, pyomo seems to be installed just right because I can import it in spyder (i am using WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.3) with
  <code>import coopr.pyomo</code></p>
  
  <p>However, I cannot do anything without glpk I guess...</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded glpk-4.52 (latest version) from the ftp server but I do not know what to do with the batch files I found in the "w64"-folder I should use(?) according to "<a href="http://holderfamily.dot5hosting.com/aholder/teach/courses/winter2010/OR/coopr/" rel="nofollow">Installing GLPK</a>"</p>
  
  <p>I do not have Visual Studio installed - Isn't it possible to work without it?</p>
