I had the same question for my Anaconda3 x64 installation on Windows 8.1.
Here is what I did:
1) Installed Github for Windows https://windows.github.com/
2) Opened the Git Shell (which is a PowerShell session that allows git commands)
3) Install the pydot from https://github.com/nlhepler/pydot with this command:
./pip install git+https://github.com/nlhepler/pydot.git
4) You can check whether pydot was installed by issuing
conda list
New pydot link for 64-bit installer https://anaconda.org/rmg/pydot or just
conda install -c rmg pydot
