ImportError: DLL load failed while importing win32api: The specified procedure could not be found.

How to troubleshoot this error?

I tried almost all possible solutions available on Stack Overflow, Youtube, and even i removed anaconda and Python and its dependencies completely and reinstalled the same. but still its not working.

Solution

The error is related to "pywin", try this if you already have that package :

pip install --upgrade pywin32==225

Or this

pip install pywin32==225
