Answer 1

The library can be installed directly using pip

(qiskit) C:\Python37>pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall cvxopt

It downloads the below wheels

cvxopt-1.2.5-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl (822 kB)
mkl-2019.0-py2.py3-none-win_amd64.whl (224.1 MB)

Successfully installed cvxopt-1.2.5 intel-openmp-2019.0 mkl-2019.0

You may have to set the Python path as well in the environment variable to get it working!
