Theano Import error

Question

I am trying to install Theano on CPU machine (running intel HD graphics, without NVIDIA). I get the following import error while testing in python.

WARNING (theano.configdefaults): g++ not detected ! Theano will be unable to exe
cute optimized C-implementations (for both CPU and GPU) and will default to Pyth
on implementations. Performance will be severely degraded. To remove this warnin
g, set Theano flags cxx to an empty string.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\anaconda\pkgs\theano\theano\__init__.py", line 74, in <module>
    from theano.printing import pprint, pp
  File "c:\anaconda\pkgs\theano\theano\printing.py", line 19, in <module>
    if pd.find_graphviz():
  File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\pydot.py", line 409, in find_graphviz
    "SOFTWARE\ATT\Graphviz", 0, win32con.KEY_QUERY_VALUE )
pywintypes.error: (2, 'RegOpenKeyEx', 'The system cannot find the file specified
.')

I have the g++ installed though.

Thanks.
