This appears to be an installation issue, so let's move this to the discussion forum.

The above error points to an incompatible or incomplete installation of the prerequisite nVidia CUDA libraries. More information on this and instructions to install the same can be found on the CuPy website. Please try again after performing a clean installation of the CUDA toolkit for Windows. It could also help to update your GPU drivers.
