hi friend me too i had same error tell me what version of cuda did you use and if you get solution help me thanks good luck

[elhammoumi]

I still did not find a solution to this problem.

[Salem-KHIMOUD]

try this http://www.shaneahmed.com/2017/07/build-caffe-pycaffe-and-matcaffe-on.html for me it worked be sure to use same thing
good luck

hello! i have the same error, do you guys figure it out or any workarounds? or know if that is related to the CUDA version?

Late for the game, but I'm pretty sure I know what is causing it. The error code is STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND, and it must be arising when the build is trying to run protoc.exe (protobuf compiler). It must be missing some dependencies. Try to locate protoc.exe and run it manually. It will tell you which DLL is missing. The complete protobuf compiler with all its dependencies can be found here.
