title: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. (Torch issues)
body: <p>I am pretty new to python (not so new to java). I am very interested in the AI/Machine learning aspect of python.. So I went to Udemy and got two courses.. One on python and another on AI. I fooled around with the python course then went to the AI course. One of the imports needed was (torch) So I installed the import via the anaconda prompt.. I tried to run the import and I got the error</p>

  <p>I then tried MANY versions of python and different ways of installing torch (pip3/cond) nothing worked.. I then uninstalled everything and all of a sudden the base import torch worked but things like (import torch.n or random) didnt work. Then all of a sudden the import torch wasn't there. Makes sense since I did uninstall everything involving torch. Current situation is I have torch downloaded </p>
  
  <pre><code>pip3 install https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torch-1.0.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and that gives me the error listed above.. I am just very stuck and I've literal wasted around 3 days searching and trying to figure everything out in general (Had issues with tensor and python versions ect)</p>
  
  <p>Hopefully this all makes sense.. I've only posted on stackoverflow once before.</p>
