Tensorflow 2.0 on Windows (SSE2): How do you stop 'ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.' when importing tensorflow

问题

System Information:

Windows 10
Python 3.6.4 and 3.7.0 <- default version
Tensorflow 1.11.0
Conda 4.7.12
pip 19.3.1

I was trying to get Tensorflow 2.0 running on Windows 10, but my computer doesn't support the AVX/AVX2 instruction set, so I used a wheel supporting SSE2 instead, which I installed with pip.

I then procceded to attempting to run the python code from the MINST Basic classification tutorial from Tensorflow's official website:

from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals

# TensorFlow and tf.keras
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras

# Helper libraries
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

print(tf.__version__)

Whem I tried to run the file, I was given this error:

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

This was the whole error, though (intro.py is the name of the file):

(base) C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\NN\TF\Intro>python intro.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\XXX\Miniconda3\lib\imp.py", line 342, in load_dynamic
    return _load(spec)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/errors

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

I have tried and gotten the exsct same error on:

pip
anaconda (miniconda) both in and out of an environment

I do not have Cuda or cudNN as I have a crappy CPU and an on-board intel GPU, meaning I can't use tensorflow-gpu. I have also tried all the aforementioned options on both Python 3.6.4 and Python 3.7.0 to no avail. i would use an official version, but I have no devices that support AVX/AVX2. If I can't fix the issue, I will try on Linux (I have already tried, though, and gave up) or downgrading to a version which supports SSE2.

I had the same issue, but it was resolved by installing https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe instead of https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53587. May needed a newer Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable?

If you have another questions, Ask https://github.com/fo40225/tensorflow-windows-wheel/issues.

Tensorflow 2.0 working on my pentium n4200 by using https://github.com/fo40225/tensorflow-windows-wheel/tree/master/2.0.0/py37/CPU/sse2.

It might be better to uninstall tensorflow1.11.0 and then install tensorflow2.0(SSE2)

I'm using Vanilla python(python.org) environment, not anaconda's.
