System information

• Top level directory for model: D:\Study\ML\RNN\models\tutorials\rnn\ptb
• Have I written custom code (as opposed to using a stock example script provided in TensorFlow): Made no change to the code i cloned frm GIT
• OS Platform and Distribution: Windows 8.1 -**Python 3.6.1 [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]
• TensorFlow installed from (source or binary): Source
• TensorFlow version (use command below): 1.3.0
• GPU model and memory: No GPU. It's a CPU system CPU@1.90GHz
• Exact command to reproduce: python ptb_word_lm.py --data_path=D:/Study/ML/RNN/simple-examples/data/ --model=small

Issue resolved by this. Since mine is a non GPU system I just installed MSVCP140.DLL and included ".DLL" in PATHEXT variable as stated in the SO link. This solved my issue.
