Tensorflow-GPU Installation ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

Question

Ok i know this might be already answered question but i have tried almost every trick suggested on stackoverflow to install tensorflow-gpu and suggested on official docs but with no luck i am getting the same error. Firstly i have tried this then afterwards offical docs then stackoverflow tricks but still getting error I have installed

1. Anaconda 3.5 which was with python 3.7 but then i downgraded it to 3.6.6
2. Then created virtual env named tensorflow with python 3.6.6
3. Then in tensorflow env pip install tensorflow-gpu
4. It was installed successfully then i installed CUDA 9.0
5. Then cuDNN 7.3 for CUDA 9.0(I have also tried CUDA 8.0 with cuDNN 6.1)
6. Copied all DLL cuDNN bin/lib to CUDA 9.0 bin/lib

7. Specified CUDA system environment variable path upto bin

   SAME QUESTION IS ASKED HERE BUT HAS NO ANSWER I HAVE THE SAME TRACE.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

for some common reasons and solutions. Include the entire stack trace above this error message when asking for help.

Please help me to get out of this. Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

I had same problem with you. After try many things, I can solved the problem with these processes.

1.Created virtual environment named tensorflow with python 3.5

• conda create -n tensorflow pip python-3.5

2.Activate this environment and install tensorflow

• activate tensorflow
• pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow-gpu

For CUDA, after installed CUDA 9.0, I create new folder in drive C and copy cuDNN 7.3 for CUDA 9.0 to its. Then, specified CUDA system environment variable path (bin folder).

In my case: C:\tools\cuda\bin

Hope this can help you :)
