Error while import tensorflow module

The problem was the cuDNN Library for me – for whatever reason cudnn-8.0-windows10-x64-v6.0 was NOT working – I used cudnn-8.0-windows10-x64-v5.1 – ALL GOOD!

My setup working with Win10 64 and the Nvidia GTX780M:

  • Be sure you have the lib MSVCP140.DLL by checking your system/path – if not get it here
  • Run the windows installer for python 3.5.3-amd64 from here – DO NOT try newer versions as they probably won’t work
  • Get the cuDNN v5.1 for CUDA 8.0 from here – put it under your users folder or in another known location (you will need this in your path)
  • Get CUDA 8.0 x86_64 from here
  • Set PATH vars as expected to point at the cuDNN libs and python (the python path should be added during the python install)

If you run Windows 32 be sure to get the 32 bit versions of the files mentioned above.
