Describe the issue

I'm encountering a dll load error with onnxruntime-directml 1.18.1 on a Windows11 system:

File "C:\Users\Default\miniconda3\envs\onnx\Lib\site-packages\onnxruntime\capi\_pybind_state.py", line 32, in <module>
    from .onnxruntime_pybind11_state import *  # noqa
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing onnxruntime_pybind11_state: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

Issue is not seen with onnxruntime 1.18.1 or with onnxruntime-directml 1.18.0

I'm having the exactly same issue. Tried many things but still haven't found a solution yet.

Current workaround is to install onnxruntime-directml==1.18.0 instead

Previously I install the latest visual studio 17.10.x and build onnxruntime wheel. have this problem to use 17.10.x. Sometimes when I install msvc-runtime which is build by 17.10.x . it can resolve I have several conda environments. it sometimes have same issues. Finally I roll back my visual studio to 17.8 to prevent this issue.

Latest release has bumped vcredist requirement to 14.38. Downloading and updating to 14.40 seems to help, but not sure if that's the only required fix. Github runners have 14.40 installed, and builds made with pyinstaller fail with the same problem.

You can try conda install conda-forge::vs2015_runtime

I have encountered a similar issue. It seems onnxruntime package was built with conflicting dependency of visual c++.

I was using 14.29 vcredist, updating to 14.40 and then, resolved this error.

Thanks, this solved the problem!

In case you use pip, msvc-runtime package also helps (and works with pyinstaller distributions). Thanks for the idea! :D
