Module not found for TensorFlow in 'Classify' on Windows

[tpetroel]

Within MLWIC, 'setup' throws the error:

> setup(python_loc = "D:/Programs/Anaconda/", conda_loc = "D:/Programs/Anaconda/Scripts")
Error: Error 127 occurred creating conda environment r-reticulate

Within MLWIC, 'Classify' cannot find TensorFlow module and throws the error:

> ## Example from Tabak etal.
> setwd("G:/PHD_Research/[R]_SCRIPTS/Remote_Image_ID/MLWIC_examples-master")
> classify(path_prefix = "G:/PHD_Research/[R]_SCRIPTS/Remote_Image_ID/MLWIC_examples-master/images", # this is the absolute path to the images.

+          save_predictions = "model_predictions.txt" # this is the default and you should use it unless you have reason otherwise.

However, when I run 'import tensorflow as tf' within anaconda I have no problems

Due to the differences in installation on Windows, I am wondering if this is related to a file path issue. It may be painfully obvious that I am quite new to anaconda and tensorflow, so this may be a straightforward fix I am not seeing.

Thank you!

Note: Some Windows users may be interested in this additional step when installing TensorFlow. If you receive an error when installing TensorFlow (No module named 'tensorflow') within the conda environment you created, you may need to upgrade setuptools prior to installing TensorFlow.

Upgrade setuptools:
(tensorflow)C:> pip install --upgrade -I setuptools

Then install TensorFlow for CPU within the created conda environment
(tensorflow)C:> pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

See more detailed explanation of fix via tensorflow/tensorflow#6136

Thank you @tpetroel!
I don't have access to a Windows machine that can test this, so I appreciate you providing this Fix. I have linked to your description in the readme.
