Where did the .msi file come from?  could you give us a link to the
download?

I suspect this is because while the .msi contained GNU Radio, GRC, and
gr-osmosdr, it doesn't include the libraries required for using HackRF or
the RTL-SDR devices that gr-osmosdr uses.

I don't have much experience of using them, but I've heard good things
about the binary packages hosted here:
