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

Question

I recently re-install Windows 10 and I have installed Python 2.7.13 (32-bit).

Also I installed dotnet 1.2.1 (32-bit) via pip.

When I tried to import dotnet I got the following

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\dotnet\__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    import dotnet.moduleloader
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\dotnet\moduleloader.py", line 24, in <module>
    from dotnet import PyDotnet as _dotnet
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Any suggestions about that?

Answer 1

The solution for my problem was some missing DLL files for Windows. When I installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) the error was gone.
