XML file not found

[AJansma]

Hi,

I am trying the OpenVino demo for squeezenet. I get the following error: XML file cannot be found. In the directory of the demo, there is indeed the .bin file and a .labels file, but not the XML file. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi Ajansma,

Thank you for reaching out to us. If possible, could you remove the 'openvino_models' folder from the 'C:\Users\alexa\Documents\Intel\OpenVINO' and run the demo again?

If it doesn't work, please check and verify that the following files are available in 'C:\Users\alexa\Documents\Intel\OpenVINO\openvino_models\models\public\squeezenet1.1':

• squeezenet1.1.caffemodel
• squeezenet1.1.prototxt
• squeezenet1.1.prototxt.orig

Thank you.

Regards,

Adli

It works now, thanks.

I also had to install python 3.7.9 instead of 3.9, and I also encountered the problem in:

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1207405/fmod-after-an-update-to-windows-2004-is-causing-a.html

Which was solved by Use 1.19.3 Install with pip install numpy==1.19.3.
