This is the 5th tutorial I had to look at to figure out how to properly run Opencv is VS. Other tutorials had me building from source because they said opencv doesnt work in VS 2015 and of course there were all kinds of issues. This was the first tutorial that worked. Thank you so much!

After watching many tutorials, this one worked. Using v4.9.0 and Visual Studio 2022. Thanks

Thank you so much for this. You are the only person that even mentions the world file. Not even OpenCV installation instructions even mention what that is.

After two hours of trying to create my source file I found this video and finished everything in 20 mins. Thanks

Great tutorial, thanks.

It's been a time since I last worked in Visual Studio. I had set up the environment variable before coming to this tutorial, and it worked as intended.
...I had completely forgotten all the places to define the paths in Generel and Linker and so on, so it was nice to see where to set it up, and it worked perfectly.

This tutorial really helped me. I was frustrated and not getting anywhere with other tutorials, but yours got me up and running. Thanks!

I spent most of yesterday trying to build a working version of this only to end up with some cryptic error. Thanks to your video I can finally start working, two thumbs up XD

TO EVERYONE WHO IS GETTING A MISSING opencv_world310d.dll ERROR::


1) This file is located in the bin folder of vc14.
2) You have to add this folder in the path. (Environment variables).
3) If you are watching this video there is a 90% probability that you added that folder to the path *after opening Visual Studio* .

Solution:

_Simply close and open the Visual Studio and it will automatically get updated_ .

Worked for me.

Cheers !

Wow, I have no hairs left since I have been pulling my hair for 6 months, I tried cmake and every other kinds of stuff but this is the clearest explanation ever and works like a charm. Thank you very much sir!

[ironplank]

Bless you man.. been struggling with this stuff for days up until now

[qianzhang]

Good stuff. I followed the steps in this video and successfully created my 1st opencv project in VS 2015.

[SakshamSharma-trfk]

I followed you to a T and it worked like a charm. Had to come back, like and comment :)
Keep up the good work.
Also, if anyone is not able to find the C/C++ thingy in Project Properties, make sure you have added a source file for proper format and added all the paths properly. :)

Great Tutorial needed to restart my visualstudio, but afterwards it just worked smoothly - ty so much for your time.

Excellent tutorial! Finally managed to set up Open CV correctly. I had an issue with missing dll files (msvcp120d.dll and msvcr120d.dll) but I saw the comment below and fixed the problem by downloading them and placing them at C:\Windows\System32.

Awesome dude. First time I've been able to get this to work.
