This helped me too. For sake of noobs like me - here are steps I followed in RStudio (using MRAN v3.4.0)
install.packages("Rcpp")
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rstudio/reticulate", force=TRUE)
devtools::install_github("r-lib/processx")
library(processx)
devtools::install_github("rstudio/tensorflow")
devtools::install_github("rstudio/keras")

It looks like Rpp wasn't / didn't get installed. Maybe try updating
devtools first via install.packages("devtools")

I tried reinstalling 'devtools' but still the same error.
Maybe it is the 

Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :
namespace 'reticulate' 0.8 is being loaded, but >= 0.8.0.9003 is required
RROR: lazy loading failed for package

which is causing trouble , i looked up for such error but didn't find anything worth.
Any idea about this error?

I also tried installing 'reticulate' separately --

The fact that Rcpp isn't even available indicates that package installation is not working as expected in your configuration. We don't know of any general failure to install on Windows of this nature. My recommendation would be to build up from scratch as follows:

install.packages("Rcpp")
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rstudio/reticulate")
devtools::install_github("rstudio/tensorflow")
devtools::install_github("rstudio/keras")

If any of those steps fail then you should try to debug them individually. I'm not sure what else I can do here other than hope that your system supports those commands working correctly!

Thanks a lot for your help and concern , i will try it out from scratch and come back with the results .

anishsingh20 picture anishsingh20 on 14 Jun 2017

Yes it worked , finally.
I debugged it and got to know that package 'jsonlite' and 'curl' were corrupted and i reinstalled them again.Then I uninstalled the 'devtools' and 'Rcpp' packages , again re-installed them , then first installed package 'reticluate' , followed by tensorflow and then i had to install the 'processx ' package then i successfully installed 'keras ' package. And now its running.
Thanks for the help.

Outstanding. Thank you. Big help.

Had same error and turned out during the TensorFlow local GPU installation process the computer's default R version switched to Microsoft R Open which apparently can't install TensorFlow. Giveaway should have been all R User Library packages were missing, but after that process on Windows, nothing is surprising :)
Resolved with switching back to R-3.5.0:
Tools->Global Options->General->R-version->Change->Choose a specific version of R->R-3.5.0 etc. ->OK
