Tensorflow error : DLL load failed: The specified

Question

I tried to install tensorflow cpu using pip in my windows8.1 64bit python3.6.0 using pip install tensorflow but it gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Users\Laitooo
San\Desktop\tf.py", line 1, in <module>

I downloaded python36.dll and made sure all other .dll is there and install Microsoft visual c++ 2015

I also uninstalled tensorflow and installed another version several times but without any result.
