Purpose

The following error may occur related to tensorflow.

ImportError: DLL load failed:The specified module cannot be found.

If you show it from the front a little more, the following error.

ImportError: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\XYZZZ\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 64, in <module>
    from tensorflow.python._pywrap_tensorflow_internal import *
ImportError: DLL load failed:The specified module cannot be found.

The coping method is shown.

Coping

Premise

The version of tensorflow when an error occurs is as follows.

tensorflow               2.3.0

It's not an individual issue, so it's not directly related, but the error was When the following github code is executed (XLNET related). https://github.com/zihangdai/xlnet

Specific measures

(I empirically felt that it was a problem with the version of tensorflow ...)

I made the version of tensorflow smaller than 2 with the following command.

python -m pip install "tensorflow<2.0.0"

With the above command, the version of tensorflow is

tensorflow               1.15.3

Became.

Looking at the PYPI below, https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/#history Versions smaller than 2.0.0 are 1.15.3, so this is usually the case.

(Quote: PYPI URL screen above)

⇒ ** The error disappeared safely. ** **

Supplement

It may be possible to install multiple versions in different environments, but I used to run it and it made me feel uncomfortable, so recently I changed the version without thinking ahead. There is. Of course, there are some that will not work unless tensorflow is 2 or more, so If you want to do that, upgrade the version (if you're working a lot, this might be a bad idea ...)
Maybe this error could have been a little lower than 2.3, but in this case it's probably correct. I will check it separately.
