pip install wheel on windows when multiple python versions

I am running python3 on windows, and have 2 python3 versions installed (3.4 and 3.5). This is necessary from some reasons. Python 3.4 seems to be the default one and is located in c:/python34/... while 3.5 is located in c:/Users/u/AppData/...

When trying to do: 

pip install C:\Users\YOANN\Downloads\numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

or

pip3 install C:\Users\YOANN\Downloads\numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

I receive the error: 

numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I'm pretty sure it's because it is trying to install it on the 3.4 version instead of 3.5 hence the version mismatch, but I can't find a workaround...

Any idea?

Just run it with the full path to pip and it should work. 

c:\Users\u\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-64\Scripts\pip.exe install C:\Users\YOANN\Downloads\numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

Check the first part, the c:\Users\u should be where you have installed your python3.5

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but Virtual Environments may be your best friend.
