Win10: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found #22794

damcclane · 2018-10-06T07:29:04Z

System information:

Have I written custom code: No
OS Platform and Distribution: Windows 10 Pro updated
Mobile device: None
TensorFlow installed from: pip install
TensorFlow version: 1.11.0
Python Version: 3.6.6
Bazel version: not installed
CUDA/cuDNN version: CUDA 9.0, cuDNN 8.0
GPU model and memory: GF-GTX970 STRIX
Exact command to reproduce:
pip install tensorflow
pip install tensorflow-gpu
python
import tensorflow as tf

Problem

I have had this error consistently even after trying to downgrade to older versions of CUDA tool, cuDNN, python, tensorflow and tensorflow-gpu. I have updated my enviornment variables. I have installed Visual C++ Redistributable Update.
I have read and tried to follow the solutions from other similar issues (such as #10033 and #17101), but have not succeeded in fixing the problem.

Ok done.

kennedyCzar · 2018-10-07T01:20:17Z

I had the same issue while trying to use tensorflow-gpu on windows 10.
Since i couldn't get it to work on cuDNN10..i opted for 9 instead using...

conda create --name tf-gpu
conda install -c aaronzs tensorflow-gpu
conda install -c anaconda cudatoolkit
conda install -c anaconda cudnn
conda install keras-gpu

umitkilic · 2018-10-15T14:02:20Z

I have same problem with you @damcclane . How did you solve ?

Win10 x64, python 3.6, cuda9 with cudnn 7.0.5 and also Win10 x64, python 3.7, cuda10 with cudnn 7.3.1

Both has the same problem. My graphic card is Nvidia GeForce 1050 Ti

CorentinJ · 2018-10-15T15:04:58Z

Same issue. Win10 x64, python 3.5, tensorflow-gpu 1.11.0, CUDA 8 with CUDNN 6 installed.

starcream · 2018-10-16T02:31:24Z

Same problem,Win10 x64,python 3.6 ,cuda 9 with cudnn 7.0

henry-huynh-3508 · 2018-10-17T06:10:39Z

Same problem, anyone knows how to solve this?

tcllst · 2018-10-17T14:59:54Z

Same problem here… :(

CorentinJ · 2018-10-17T15:31:21Z

I've had this issue in the past and it was because I had the wrong version of CUDNN. You could try downloading a few of them and see if any of those work.

ymodak · 2018-10-17T16:51:44Z

I would like to encourage all who are facing this issue to create a new issue on TensorFlow repo so that we can focus on solving your problem on individual basis since the system config can vary from person to person. Thanks!

tcllst · 2018-10-17T17:01:20Z

Fixed, Thenks!

catruck · 2018-10-24T14:08:01Z

Same problem, on cuda 10, when I install anaconda I have missed the PyHamcrest, after I install "pip install PyHamcrest" all worked fine until today. I get the same error.

mragon2 · 2018-10-27T18:27:04Z

I am facing the same issues. The problem appears also in importing another package named PyQSTEM for electron microscopy simulation. If someone can find a way to fix the problem, could please share here the solution? Thanks

BirdeeChen · 2018-11-07T06:50:51Z

Same issue, Windows 10 x64, python3.5, tensorflow-gpu 1.11.0, CUDA 10.0, cudnn 7.3.1, my graphics card is GTX 1070Ti

Same issue, and I tried to install CUDA 9.0, but NVIDIA inform me the driver is not compatible graphic hardware, but with CUDA 10.0, there is no such warning.

BirdeeChen · 2018-11-08T01:17:10Z

Lucky, Issue solved when getting visual studio 2017 with C++ package installed, Windows 10 x64, python3.6.7, tensorflow-gpu 1.11.0, cudnn 7.3.1, both cuda 9.0 & cuda 10.0 installed(not checking which is the right one), my graphics card is GTX 1070Ti.

WuYunfan · 2018-11-14T10:56:33Z

I finally solve the problem by installing cuda 9.0 instead of 9.2 or 10.0 with tensorflow 1.12.0 and cudnn 7.4.1.5

boldt · 2018-11-14T13:56:38Z

I can confirm, that the following assembly does not work on Windows 10:

tensorflow 1.12.0
cuda toolkit 10.0.130
cudnn 7.4.1.5

Additional infos:

NVIDIA Quadro P1000 with NVIDIA driver 411.81
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable 14.0.24215 (C:\Windows\system32\msvcp140.dll exists)
Python 3.6.7

I also get the message

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Unfortunately, it does not say which module is missed.

[EDIT]

Just realized, that you write:

TensorFlow supports CUDA 9.0.

I'll reinstall now.

levicki · 2018-11-25T10:51:33Z

My install:

Windows 10.0.17763.134 x64
NVIDIA Driver 416.92
CUDA 10.0.130
CUDNN 7.4.1.5 for CUDA 10.0
Python 3.6.7
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

The cause of this error seems to be people installing Python without Tcl/Tk support not realizing that Tcl is necessary for SWIG and module imports. I just tested this and in my case it was not enough to modify the Python installation to add Tcl/Tk -- I had to delete everything and install from scratch and now I am not getting the error anymore.

TL;DR -- just fully remove and reinstall Python with Tcl/Tk option selected.

sulaimanvesal · 2018-11-27T12:23:18Z

After spending almost two days, I finally solved the problem by installing:

cuda 9.0 instead of 9.2 or 10.0
tensorflow1.12.0
cudnn 7.4.1.5

Thanks to @WuYunfan 💯

wedesoft · 2020-01-09T15:16:32Z

Had this issue with Tensorflow 2.1.0 (CPU version). Managed to fix it by downgrading to Tensorflow 2.0.0:

pip install tensorflow==2.0.0

abdulrahman-khankan · 2020-01-11T08:53:07Z

If you are having this after 2.1.0, it is probably because it comes with GPU support by default. And it requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 as shown in the installation step #1 on the website.

From the release notes:

rgov · 2020-01-12T22:33:45Z

I found the release notes that @abdulrahman-khankan screenshot'd above: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/releases/tag/v2.1.0

Here is the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 link from that document. Remember, text in screenshots can't be clicked, copied, translated, read by screen readers, etc.!

abdulrahman-khankan · 2020-01-12T22:35:59Z

I assumed everyone knows how to go to the releases page or just google the MS installers. Thanks for sharing the links!

wedesoft · 2020-01-13T16:28:12Z

Because of further issues with PyInstaller I ended up downgrading to tensorflow == 1.14.0.

juskuz · 2020-01-17T12:37:04Z

@ERDataDoc using your link

The easy button is to follow the instructions in this post:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/How-to-Install-TensorFlow-with-GPU-Support-on-Windows-10-Without-Installing-CUDA-UPDATED-1419

is helpful but sometimes it can upgrade the driver to CUDA 10.2 which is not supported yet
(that happened in my case)

BigIan1969 · 2020-01-26T13:08:01Z

Sorry I realize this isn't helpful but I've now given up trying to do anything serious with Python under Windows. 3 Weeks in and I'm still trying to install all the shit I need for the first tutorial (Maybe I set my sights too high but then I do remember punch cards and paper tape)

Lem0nRavioli · 2020-01-28T09:15:26Z

#22512 (comment)
This solved it for me.
(Downgrading to tensorflow 2.0.0)
pip install tensorflow==2.0.0

Ansreng360 · 2020-01-30T16:12:52Z

#22794 (comment)

I installed the redistributable and msvcp140.dll is available on my file system.

However, I still get the error. Downgrading helps, but I need to upgrade my version, since there is an unfixed bug on 2.0.0 I can't get around.

Is there any notice from the developers, that they are working on this?

ajmalfaiz · 2020-02-02T15:00:06Z

I fixed it.
Spend days searching to fix them.

Installed tensorflow with pip install tensorflow-cpu
Updated visual c++ 2015-2019

issue was because i didn't had nvidia graphics so that i should install with cpu version because i am using Raedon vega 8 graphics

Hope it helps.

lucasgouvea · 2020-02-02T22:24:42Z

In my case, I was using Python 3.6 and it was erroring. So I upgraded to 3.6.8 and it then worked with tensorflow 2.0.0

zayedrais · 2020-02-06T06:06:14Z

It's work for me python: 3.7.6
pip install tensorflow==2.0
if you are using tensoflow-gpu
pip install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu==2.0

KoenDelaere · 2020-02-07T14:16:57Z

I installed

python 3.6.2 (<-- had to change my python version, and change to 64bit)
I already had the msvcp140.dll and msvcp140_1.dll in my System32/
Cuda 10.0 (not sure if that was necessary).
pip install tensorflow==2.0 (<-- 2.1.0 did not work!)
and then it worked :)

mihaimaruseac · 2020-02-07T16:28:49Z

This is the final answer on this thread: #22794 (comment)

Please don't spam with "I solved it!" and custom solutions.

YaroslavBerko · 2020-02-09T15:02:02Z

Hi, @mihaimaruseac

Can you add new item with a description of the problems that may be cause by the lack of support for AVX command to the instruction on the site?
Сan you add this link to the problem list where Error message is equal "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found."
Do you know how to create own binaries that will be without AVX support?

If some one need tensorflow whl without AVX support you can find it in this repository, many thanks to the author. Or you can use Intel Software Development Emulator to run original tensorflow with AVX support.

To test AVX support use Coreinfo.

Hi fitrialif,
I did install that Micrsoft Visual C++. But the same error persists. After installing that, is there anything else I should do (moving files around,etc?)

Seems to be a problem with TF2.1.

Downgrading to TF2.0 worked for me: pip install tensorflow==2.0

mihaimaruseac · 2020-03-03T22:27:31Z

@pallyndr this is because you need to download the newest MSVC redistributable for 2.1 as mentioned in #22794 (comment)

Unfortunately as people keep piling on the thread with "it works for me"/"I'm having the same issue"/"solved it by doing this other thing", the actual solution in the above comment got burried.

PabloLION · 2020-03-10T00:13:42Z

after I download MSVC and CUDA (I am with NVIDIA card) and cuDNN it worked.
