ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _SimpleITK: The specified module could not be found. about tutorial HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello @Ilias-Paralikas,

Possibly you activated the sitkpy environment before updating conda? If you follow the installation instructions, you will first install anaconda and update the base environment, conda update conda and conda update anaconda.

Please uninstall your anaconda installation and redo the setup process. If this does not resolve the issue, please provide the set of steps you took till encountering an error.

from tutorial.

Hello,
so the steps after full uninstall of anaconda were:
download&run conda installer.
add C:\Users\paral\anaconda3 to environment variables.
Open anaconda prompt
conda update conda. works fine.
conda update anaconda.
I get this error
PackageNotInstalledError: Package is not installed in prefix.
prefix: C:\Users\paral\anaconda3
package name: anaconda

that I solve by installing anaconda( this step is not in the tutorial)
conda install anaconda
conda update anaconda works fine
conda install git
git clone https://github.com/SimpleITK/TUTORIAL.git
conda env create -f TUTORIAL/environment.yml
conda activate sitkpy
cd TUTORIAL
jupyter notebook 00_setup.ipynb
run the first cell and I get the error from above

I follow the tutorial except from the conda install anaconda part.

Hello @Ilias-Paralikas,

It appears you uncovered a fault in the anaconda distribution of SimpleITK 2.2.1 for windows. We will look into this shortly.

For a quick workaround, please do the following:

1. Activate the environment: conda activate sitkpy.
2. Uninstall the SimpleITK anaconda package: conda remove SimpleITK
3. Install the SimpleITK vanilla Python package: pip install SimpleITK
4. Run the tutorial.

Please let us know if this resolved your issue or not.

Thank you very much!
