EDIT: After user1735003's comment on how the tensforflow documentation explicitly states that it supports only Python 3.5.x on Windows, I removed the earlier 3.6.2 version and installed 3.5.2 isntead. I get the same error, though.

I have a Windows 7 professional x64, using Python 3.5.2. When I try to import tensorflow, I get the follwoing error:

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_sources#common_installation_problems

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

Python installed at: C:\Users\Ritwik\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\python.exe

I've installed tensorflow using pip as suggested in the documentation.

pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow

I don't have an NVIDIA GPU.

From the documentation:

TensorFlow only supports version 3.5.x of Python on Windows.

EDIT

See a generic answer here for _pywrap_tensorflow_internal errors.

  • Thanks for pointing that out. I removed the earlier Python installation, intalled 3.5.2 and still get the same error though. – Twix Jul 24 '17 at 13:12
  • Thanks for the suggestion! I checked out the script and installed a missing Visual C++ update and it worked! – Twix Jul 25 '17 at 14:59
