I use Windows 10, have Python 2.7 installed as part of ArcGIS 10.5. I have installed GDAL using a package manager that runs fine in Python, meaning I can import both gdal and ogr in a Python editor. But when I try to install it using virtualenv, things don´t work - I can´t install GDAL properly. I have tried various other solutions, such as specifying the GDAL version, but I cannot install GDAL using virtualenv. How can I install it using virtualenv?

    I have downloaded a wheel file form Cristoph's repo and was successful using pip installing it on the system, but failed to install the wheel in the virtualenv.
