How to configure Orfeo toolbox in QGIS 2.18 on Windows 7 32-Bit?

You can use OSGeo4W to install the OTB Libs. Run the setup again and choose Advanced Install then go through the options until you can select the packages. Type in otb in the search tab:

Select packages

Then click each package as shown in the red box (I installed it before taking snapshots). Finish the installation then load QGIS and go to the Processing Provider options and enter the following paths as described here:

OTB applications folder: C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\orfeotoolbox\applications
OTB command line tools folder: C:\OSGeo4W64\bin

Processing Provider options

Confirm and hopefully (you might need to restart QGIS) you should see the Orfeo Toolbox in your Processing Toolbox:
