Native pip
as recommended on tensor flow.org
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/

The problem ocured at this simple import command

Please fill the template for new issues, with information about OS, TF version, python version etc. It is very hard to diagnose a problem without the information required on the template (made to be filled, not erased). And check your installation of tensorflow, these errors look like a bad installation.

@WahabZia Sorry you faced issues trying to run TF. If you installed for GPU support I need you to:

  1. Check if your %CUDA_HOME% is properly set and CUDA and cuDNN DLLs directories are in your PATH.
  2. After that if the issue persists install the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 x64 as MSVCP140.DLL may be missing in your system.

Thanks for filling the issue and feel free to ask any questions or doubts you may still have about TensorFlow.

@WahabZia If you are using Python.org distribution and receiving this error is very likely MSVCP140.DLL is not installed in your system.
So as I provided on step 2, please try installing Visual C++ Redistributable linked above, uninstall then install TF again and let us know if you had progress on it.

Thanks @Carmezim for the help i have found the dll from the DLLFiles.com
https://www.dll-files.com/msvcp140.dll.html
The import issue is resolved

I also used this command

C:> pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

From this thread
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42011070/on-windows-running-import-tensorflow-generates-no-module-named-pywrap-tenso

before placing the DLL in System32

And now i am facing this issue when i am sort of trying to validate my installation.

Both of the problems are resolved . Thanks gentelmen for the help . The issue was occurring because of missing MSVCP140.DLL which was found on https://www.dll-files.com/msvcp140.dll.html
or by installing Visual C++ Redistributable as recomeded by fellows .
Thanks @Carmezim and @MicaelCarvalho for the help

@krishnaputhran If you look up the comments you'll see his issue was due missing the MSVCP140.DLL. You can solve it by downloading the Visual C++ Redistributable.

But some users had this problem after install with pip install tensorflow because of a bug on the wheel and not the missing DLL mentioned. To solve it uninstall TensorFlow, download this nightly build choosing the right version, CPU or GPU, and install with this wheel.

@Carmezim thanks for your immediate response and I appreciate that. Yes my issue is solved now. I had to do the following as mentioned above.

  1. The "import tensorflow as tf" is solved my installing the Visual C++ Redistributable.. Make sure in your System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 has the msvcp140.dll
  2. To get rid off the second issue as mentioned above, upgrade your Tensorflow to the latest nightly build nightly build. As the fix is not yet promoted to the release and available in the nightly builds.

Indeed, pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu seems to be causing the issue (tested on Win 10), despite installing the Visual C++ Redistributable. Installing via the following command solves the problem: pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

@narendra-7638 Hi, could you try running this script locally and see what it indicates?
There's clearly a missing or misplaced DLL TensorFlow isn't able to locate in your system so it will help pointing that out.

Hi @Carmezim and @WahabZia , I m facing the same issue for installing TF for CPU-only version. I guess i don't need to install CUDA for CPU-only version. I tried using the following
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu /tensorflow-1.6.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

But getting the following error

tensorflow-1.6.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Please help. I have downloaded CUDNN-9.1 but i still feel that i don't need it for CPU-only version, SO haven't installed it yet.
I have the MSVC140.DLL in System32 folder. Also added it in PATH environmental variable.

Also I was working on the previous version of tensorflow i.e 1.5.0 and everything worked fine. This problem started wen I upgraded to the latest version 1.6.0 just to avoid warnings

Python : 3.6.4 installed from python.org for 64bit executable
Tensorflow : 1.6.0 using command "pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.6.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl"
System Windows 7 64-bit
Native pip

Please revert asap.. Thanking you in anticipation

Use python3.5 version it solves all the problems. I spent almost weeks on these errors.

@WahabZia Sorry you faced issues trying to run TF. If you installed for GPU support I need you to:

  1. Check if your %CUDA_HOME% is properly set and CUDA and cuDNN DLLs directories are in your PATH.
  2. After that if the issue persists install the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 x64 as MSVCP140.DLL may be missing in your system.

Thanks for filling the issue and feel free to ask any questions or doubts you may still have about TensorFlow.

When I try to install using this install it gives me error that

Another versionof this product is already installed. Installation of this version can not continue. To configure ....bla bla bla

Please Help

I have the same issue as @hemangjoshi37a . I seem to have Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 x64 installed. I do not wish to uninstall it but there is no way to install 2015 without uninstalling it as far as I can see. Please advise on what should be done here.
