System cannot find video controller

How severe does this issue affect your experience of using Ray?

Hello. I’m trying to use ray tune to cross validate a sklearn model, however when it comes to the fit() method I get the following issue.

Traceback (most recent call last):

    hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args,
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Process finished with exit code 1

From what little I’ve understood it has to do with generating a subprocess that is executed by the gpu, that however can’t be found by the subprocess module.

Do I have to update the drivers for my gpu card, do I have to set some environment variables, or something else entirely?

Also, why is it looking for WMIC when it has been deprecated? especially considering it is trying to interact with a controller that is for windows 32 bits?
(ERRATA CORRIGE: substituted = with ? at the end)
(EDIT: added further questions)

Nevermind, issue solved from here

Awesome. We should try to get this implemented into core.
