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: http://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/PothosSDR/

Thanks,
  Dominic

Thank you for your answer
I tried to run GRC from the Pothos  installation but GRC is unable to find my Python 2.7 already installed
I'll tried to reinstall  Python 2.7

Sincerely 
JF Devois
