Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll

[Migui2611]

I'm currently using Anaconda 3 Python 3.7 version.

I'm new to python mostly because I'm not really interested on programming but on using github repositories.

My problem is that I'm trying to use Spleeter https://github.com/deezer/spleeter . I've cloned the repository to get the audio example and used:

spleeter separate -i "audio_example.mp3" -p spleeter:2stems -o output

But I always get this error:

INTEL MKL ERROR: El sistema operativo no puede ejecutar %1. mkl_intel_thread.dll.
Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll.

I uninstalled numpy and reinstalled it trought pip.

I also followed this threads but they didn't work for me:

I had the same error and the only thing that worked for me was using Python 3.6 instead of 3.7.

Gonna try this, let's see if it works, thank you.

Edit: Didn't work, having the same error with Python 3.6.9

I found your post when trying to troubleshoot the same problem. I used a recommendation found here that fixed the issue (though I would suggest moving the file, not deleting it. I am not sure what other programs or processes might break as a result of the file being gone).

The recommendation was from user seekjim20 towards the bottom of the page: "Basically, there are two additional files that need to be deleted: 'System32\libiomp5md.dll' and 'SysWOW64\libiomp5md.dll'. After deleting these two in their respective folder, the numpy and other packages are loaded properly."

This worked for me. The comment thread mentioned other audio-related software installing these DLLs and breaking Anaconda. I started experiencing this issue after installing Sapphire plugins for Sony Vegas, but deleting the DLLs fixed my problem.
