I am unable to install and import Tensorflow on my PC. I have tried the below approach as mentioned on https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip#package-location. I have also tried installation using Conda but the same problem appears. MS Visual C++ is also installed as mentioned on https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip#package-location

System information
OS Platform: Windows 7 Service Pack1
TensorFlow installed from (source or binary): https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.12.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
TensorFlow version: 1.12
Python version: 3.5.4 64-bit
Installed using virtualenv

ImportError: DLL load failed with error code -1073741795

If your CPU didn't support AVX instructions, you will get ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (Win 10) or ImportError: DLL load failed with error code -1073741795 (Win 7) when using tensorflow official release 1.6.0 and up (pip install tensorflow)
You can use pip install [filename].whl which file download from sse2 folder instead of using official AVX binary.

Please verify whether the below command is working.
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow

You can use the below link for reference of tensorflow-windows-wheel.

I have built tensorflow wheel without AVX.

https://github.com/fo40225/tensorflow-windows-wheel/tree/master/1.6.0/py36/CPU/sse2

I wish this .whl may help you.

You can install the wheel file with pip. First change the current directory to install location. Then,

pip install tensorflow-1.6.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

If its not working please try to resolve it by downgrading protobuf from 3.6.1 to 3.6.0:

pip install protobuf==3.6.0

Got it fixed post looking for similar answers in internet...I had to install the tensorflow version 1.5 and the tensorflow backend loaded seamlessly
