Creating Inference proj fails

[balvesbb]

Just trying to create a new AI Tools Inference project from template, File > Project > AI Tools > Inference.

Fails with message:
Module tensorflow missing
Please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=872929 to prepare the development environment.

Tensorflow seems to be installed, see pic.

Please advise, thanks in advance!

Just for completeness...

• I did uninstall tensorflow 1.8 and installed 1.5 as suggested in the link on the error msg
• Also posting VS version

@balvesbb Thanks for your feedback.
Please refer to How to Create a Model Inference Library Project to register your local Python interpreter into Python Tools first. Then VS Tools for AI will be able to find its installed Python packages.

@balvesbb , our tool uses the default Python environment in Visual Studio in project generation. So if you have multiple Python distributions installed, please refer here to set up the default Python environment.

I notice that you are using Anaconda, so please check if your Python distribution is found by VS 2017. You could refer here to manually add a Python configuration.

@balvesbb , does this issue still exist?

Thanks.
