WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

When attempting to inject into either a process that runs on python, or a normal python.exe interpreter, I get the error:

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

I'm running Windows 10 on Python 2.7.13.

I've narrowed it down to a problem with GDB. I've put this binary everywhere I could think it could go (system32, lib/pyringe, lib), changed gdb to gdb.exe, and changed split('\n')[0], to split('\n')[1] since the first line is now:

This binary was built by Equation Solution http://www.Equation.com.

I still have the same error though. Could this be a problem with subprocess?

Figured it out. Steps to solve:

1. Download MinGW
2. Launch installer and wait for packages to download.
3. In the package selector, go to All Packages, find mingw32-gdb-python, and select it.
4. Go to file and apply changes.
5. Navigate to the bin folder in the installation directory (default C:\MinGW), and rename gdb and gdbserver as to remove python-2.7 from their names.
6. Go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables and add the bin folder to the PATH.

Hi, I am having the same issue, but I am not getting the last line "WARNING:root:Inferior is not running", I get the following traceback :

File "c:/Users/UserOne/Documents/FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/FolderD/ocr.py", line 675, in
digitL, lengthL = DigitSearch(cntL, rectL) File "c:/Users/UserOne/Documents/FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/FolderD/ocr.py", line 451, in DigitSearch

After following steps 1-6 I'm still getting the same error. Do I need to carry out both the suggestions from the "I've narrowed it down" post and the steps from the "Figured it out."? Any help will be much appreciated.
