How to setup GDAL setting for python using OSGEO4W?

Question

I have installed OSGEO4W installer. In that I have installed Express Desktop install option. QGIS GDAL uDig and GRASS GIS were installed in C:/OSGEO4W64. I have added 'C:/OSGEO4W64/bin' in the path.

But still getting error for running - 'gdal_retile.py' from command prompt as not recognising as aninternal or external command.

On using OSGEO4W shell, on running 'gdal_retile.py' and other gdal python file, I was getting -

ImportError DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit, python in OSGEO4W was Python-2.7.

EDITION

After following the condensed procedure I am getting following error on running from osgeo import gdal in IDLE

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    from osgeo import gdal
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\osgeo\__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    _gdal = swig_import_helper()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\osgeo\__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper
    _mod = imp.load_module('_gdal', fp, pathname, description)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

Can you include the equivalent image of this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/96uKx.png — xunilk, Apr 26 '15 at 15:51
You said: "I am using Windows 7 64 bit". Did you install the correct version of Python 2.7.9 for 64 bits (with Windows x86-64 MSI installer)? This is the link: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/python-2.7.9.amd64.msi — xunilk, Apr 26 '15 at 16:14
@xunilk I again installed python 2.7.9 for amd 64 but still no luck . Getting same error — Padfoot, Apr 26 '15 at 17:59

No error if you put only gdal_retile. See image below:

If you want to run gdal in the IDLE Python GUI or in the MS-DOS Console you can try this:

gdal ImportError in python on Windows

Problem is that I have to run this command from cmd and in cmd I am getting the mentioned error for both with extension and without extension – Padfoot Apr 25 '15 at 18:52
In this case you need the condensed procedure outlined in: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/44958/gdal-importerror-in-python-on-windows/143140#143140 – xunilk Apr 25 '15 at 18:56
I have followed the provided procedure but still I am getting error, but this time different error. I have edited my question and included the error. – Padfoot Apr 26 '15 at 13:54
