Tensorflow 0.12 failed to install on Window 10

I have installed python3.5.2+cuda8.0+cudnn5.1 on my computer with Windows 10(64-bits)+ GTX960M.Also excute the command line as following:

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

while when i get into python and input: import tensorflow as tf , it shows errors:

Then i install the bazel but it is useless,what should i do?

Are you using 64-bit version of Python? Tensorflow windows version only supports 64-bit version of Python. Install Python 3.5.2 64-bit or later version.

I can confirm I'm seeing the same error message on the 64-bit version of Python 3.5.2 on Windows 10.

Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:18:55) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

I installed Tensor flow with the following command:

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

I'm using CUDA 8, cudnn-8.0, a GTX 1080 with the 376.09 driver.

When I run the following:

>>> import tensorflow as tf

The following exception occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\mark\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 19, in swig_import_helper

The value of mname being passed into importlib.import_module is tensorflow.python._pywrap_tensorflow

@codeloverr I downloaded "python-3.5.2-amd64.exe" from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/
The description shows it is used "for AMD64/EM64T/x64, not Itanium processors",so i don't think the version of python is a problem.

I have successfully installed and used Tensorflow on Windows 10.
I am using GTX 1070 and

• Python 3.5.2 64 -bit

• CUDA 8.0 & cuDNN for 8.0

After installing above mentioned enter following command in command prompt for CPU version
pip install –upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

For GPU version
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-0.12.0rc0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

I'm having no issues with this. May be python environment have no PATH variable, causing the problem.

Also delete the existing Tensorflow folders in program files. Uninstall python install again. Follow instruction on this link if your issue does not resolve.

@qiushi223 @marklit sorry it didn't work for you right away.

TensorFlow requires MSVCP140.DLL and it may not be installed on your system. Please, could you check if it is in your %PATH% and If is the case this DLL is missing:

1. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 x64.

2. Test your installation and follow up if that worked.

Thanks.

[marklit]

Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 (x64 version) fixed it for me. Thanks.

@Carmezim @marklit It also works for me.Thanks a lot!

Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 (x64 version) fixed it for me. Thanks.

Hi, I have laid down step-by-step instructions to successfully install Tensorflow GPU on Windows.

https://github.com/bhavsarpratik/install_Tensorflow_GPU_windows

[Carmezim]

@bhavsarpratik That is nice you have a guide but I noticed you're are spamming issues with this and that is not cool. The official TensorFlow installation guide is complete and thorough as well and the recommended source for installation instructions

[bhavsarpratik]

@Carmezim Pardon me if this looks like spamming. I made the installation guide because I felt that some instructions were missing from the installation guide.

[Carmezim]

@bhavsarpratik you pasted the same message in at least four different issues, which is spamming.
I think PRs are always welcome, feel free to submit one with what you think could be improved in the docs.

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 (excluding Python) of the files mentioned above.

@drophit TensorFlow only supports Python 64-bit on Windows.
