pip install for whl files

Question

I am trying to install scipy package for python 2.7 in windows, The process i followed is as follows:

1. downloaded a whl file scipy-0.17.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy

2. tried to install by pip install scipy-0.17.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

   error : Requirement 'scipy-0.15.1-cp27-none-win32.whl' looks like a filename but the file does not exist scipy-0.15.1-cp27-none-win32.whl is not a supported wheelon this platform.

3. then tried to install by pip install file_location\scipy-0.17.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl.

   error displayed :scipy-0.15.1-cp27-none-win32.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

   Also i have already upgraded my pip command. Can anyone suggest me out some valid solutions?

I Think the issue in Python interpreter variant 32 or 64.. if your python is 32-bit then use scipy-0.17.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl otherwise if your python is 64Bit then try scipy-0.17.1-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
