tensorflow, procedure entry point not found, pop-up message

[Christopher Thomas]

Hi all,

I am running:

Windows 10.

Writing scripts in jupyter notebook within an anaconda environment

python v 3.5.6

I have a written a working GUI in python that

1. reads in and displays medical MRI data, 

2. loads in a tensorflow model and trained model weights 

3. runs the model on the MRI data

When I run pyinstaller on the script it pops up with this message part way through:

The file "_fused_conv2_bias_activation_op.so" that it shows in the message IS there, but I do not understand what the issue could be.

Anyway, when I "OK" the message, pyinstaller continues to run and ends fine. 

The resulting .exe runs fine on the computer that I built it on.

However, when I transfer it to another computer it does not run - just crashes out.

Problem-solving so far ...

I have created a script that just performs action 1 (loading and viewing MRI data). This compiles without the above message popping up and runs on both local and external computer. This is good and shows I have at least understood pyinstaller to some extent! :-)

I then added these lines to the imports at the beginning of the script:

import tensorflow as tf

print(tf.__version__)

import keras

print(keras.__version__)

When I run pyinstaller on this new script it comes up with the above error message. Therefore the issue is with these lines.

Is this a "hook" or "hidden imports" issue?

If it can be solved with a hook then please let me know exactly how to implement this as I am struggling to comprehend the instructions on pyinstaller site. 

I have tried writing two hook files (one for tensorflow and one for keras) within the same directory and running the following line, but I don't think it finds the hook scripts that I made.

pyinstaller --additional-hooks-dir=. AA_SyntheticCT_v2.py

Could anyone offer me some advice?

Thanks all!
