I'm trying to install sentence-transformers library. But when I import it, this error pops out:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing defs: The specified procedure could not be found.

I have installed h5py library. What am I missing?

h5py python

I had the same problem after a CUDA/CUdnn update that probably messed some DLLs. I did: pip uninstall h5py, which indicated a successful uninstall along with some error messages. And immediately after pip install h5py

Sometimes simple solutions work.
