cx_freeze not a supported wheel

Question

I am currently having a problem with python as I am trying to install cx_Freeze.

Here is the error:

cx_Freeze-5.0.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I am currently using python version 3.6.6 and I am on windows 10 64bit with visual studio build tools 2017 installed.

Does anyone know how to fix this as I am currently stumped?

EDIT:

so I just found out that I have 32-bit python installed but that's not the problem because I just downloaded the 32-bit version of cx_freeze and it is still giving me the same error

This might help. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28568070/filename-whl-is-not-supported-wheel-on-this-platform — jihan1008, Oct 06 '18 at 15:12

pip install cx_Freeze==5.0.2 is what I just used and it seems to have fixed it.
