I'm having a problem with a Visual Studio project and IntelliSense. Since upgrading to VS 2017 (it worked fine in 2010), IntelliSense has been complaining that standard library functions do not exist (For example: time, memcpy, rand) with the error identifier "time" is undefined.
Additionally, some (but not all) standard header files give the error that they cannot be opened. For example, the source file I'm viewing right now claims cannot open source file "direct.h", while header files like winsock2.h are not a problem.
I suspect the problem lies completely within IntelliSense, since the project compiles fine and all 'unindentified' functions run and perform as expected. However, I have no idea which setting to change or how to reset IntelliSense in order to once again recognise the different identifiers.
I am dynamically loading (server) jvm.dll into my 64-bit Visual Studio 2013 C++ application using LoadLibrary(), in order to execute native Java code using JNI.
In the VS debugger, I am getting a number of access violations as the dll is being loaded (yet things seem to work if I 'continue' after these); and then a hard crash when some JNI calls are being invoked. I have tried jvm.dll's from Java 1.7 and Java 1.8, with the same issues.
I suspect the issue to be runtime library incompatibility. Dependency walker indicates that even the latest jvm.dll depends on msvcr100.dll (from Visual Studio 2010). I have heard dire warnings of the consequences of using incompatible runtime versions; and have seen the results first hand in other instances.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there any version of jvm.dll available that is compiled against Visual Studio 2013?
Thanks,
Dan
Just recently (Feb 2015) I compiled a JNI application which invokes the JVM to run a Java program. I used the most recent JRE version (1.8.0_31) and Visual Studio 2013. I am also loading the jvm.dll at runtime. Take a look at this post if you want to see how I setup my JNI calls.
So it is possible...
Make sure that the JRE containing jvm.dll is built for the same architecture (32bit or 64bit) as your Visual Studio project. If you are using 64bit, you may need to add the x64 as your configuration. To do this go to:
Solution --> Properties --> Configuration Properties
Also make sure your includes/libraries are correct.
For my project, I needed to include the following:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\include
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\include\win32
Also, I needed to include jvm.lib which is located at:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\lib
Make sure you also add the jvm.lib to your linker input. Alternatively you can use the preprocessor:
#pragma comment(lib, "jvm.lib")
Hopefully, this should help get your project configured right. If you are still having errors, I would recommend uninstalling Java completely, and re-installing after. Perhaps the same with Visual Studio 2013 as well...
Honestly I like Code::Blocks (v13.12) much more than Visual Studio because it doesn't eat up my RAM. I was wondering: I recently installed Visual Studio 2012 Professional, and attempted to set the compiler up to work with Code::Blocks, but upon viewing the files included, I was missing a few critical C++ headers and, in addition, Microsoft's resource compiler, therefore I could not successfully get it working with Code::Blocks. There were no errors when I installed Visual Studio, so why would I be missing headers and their resource compiler? Are those not included in the professional version? Do I seriously need to get a copy of ultimate?
What I'm having is that this error is displayed when I wanted to copy a exe debug project that I have created (which works witout any problems) to another machine (the error message is displayed).
According to the question posted previously, the best solution to get rid of the error message is to make a release and not a debug in the Configuration Manager.
Doing that, and when rebuilding the project with the RELEASE one, I'm having new errors in my project which were not included when doing the DEBUG.
For instance, one of them is :
Error 2 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'opencv\highgui.h': No such file or directory c:\...\projects\...\ex\opencv.h 4
23 IntelliSense: identifier "IplImage" is undefined c:\...\ex.cpp 80
Any feedbacks?
You've probably added include paths for OpenCV to your project file. Unfortunately, Visual Studio by default makes such changes ONLY to the active configuration, which in your case was debug.
This rarely makes sense. Adding a logging library would be such a rare case, but you probably needs OpenCV in both debug and release builds.
MSVCP100.dll is part of the Microsoft Visual Studio 10 runtime. MSVCP100d.dll is the debug build of the same dll - useful for running your program in debug mode.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
Basically it is a relatively new package and is not guaranteed to be on all systems, especially Windows XP, so you can distribute the required DLL files or the entire runtime with your program. EDIT: Keep in mind that debug builds are not meant to be distributed, so your program should not contain debug dll-s either such as MSVCP100d.dll.
Try downloading it, and then see what happens.
Also check out this question.
MSVCP100D.dll and MSVCP100.dll is part of the Microsoft Visual Studio 10 runtime, so if someone compile her/his programs with this package, then uninstall the package and install another one for example Microsoft Visual Studio 12 (2013).
When trying to run her/his programs , then her/his will get the message that 'so and so... try to reinstalling the program to fix this problem'. this means you have to reinstall Microsoft Visual Studio 10.
the other way is to recompile your programs under the new package!
I'm trying to compile a visual studio C++ project and I can't get anywhere because of the compiler reporting "Cannot open include file: 'excpt.h': No such file or directory". The problem has been reported numerous times on the Internet but I can't find any help regarding my particular situation. The problem is not that the include path of the project are not correctly setup, the problem is that this include file (and probably a bunch of other files) are just missing from my computer. There is no such file on my hard drive. So I tried installing Windows SDK 7.1. The file is not inside the installed SDK (although it should be). I tried repairing the install, uninstall it, reinstall it... all numerous time. I also try to install, repair, uninstall, reinstall Visual Studio 2010 professional numerous time, with and without the Windows SDK installed. I even tried uninstalling the professional version to install the express VC++... nothing seems to work, no 'excpt.h' never get installed on my computer. I am clueless... someone has a hint of a solution? I'm on Windows 7.
As supplementary information, note that 'excpt.h' is included in by "windows.h". Also, the "excpt.h" file is normally installed with the Windows SDK under a path like "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft sdks\windows\v7.1\include\" and with Visual Studio under a path like "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\".
EDIT: If it might help, I might add that the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include related my Visual Studio install has only two files... which is certainly not normal!!! However, I can't find any ways to get the installer to install all the .h files that should appear in this repertory.
See if you have it at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\excpt.h Check to be sure that the system include-paths are correct in Visual Studio. If all else fails, uninstall everything, all SDK's, etc., and re-install Visual C++.
Third party search programs do a better job than the Windows one for finding things. Try Agent Ransack. It's free.
For those who have the same problem, here is the solution I found after about 10h of install/uninstall/cleaning cycles... I've uninstalled completely visual studio using this. After that, using the control panel, I've uninstalled the Windows SDK and everything that can be associated with it or with visual studio (e.g. .NET framework). Then, I've removed all the left overs by manually deleting the visual studio and the Windows SDK folders located in C:/Program files. Finally, I deleted all the entries related to the Windows SDK or to Visual Studio in the registry (they are located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft). Then, I reinstalled Visual Studio... and it was finally working correctly. I should add that I restarted and cleaned the registry using CCleaner after any install or uninstall step.
I had this problem with a project that had been updated to VS2017 from VS2015.
This was a header included via windows.h. I knew this header should have no problems as I had other projects created directly in VS2017 that used windows.h.
Another symptom was that the intellisense was highlighting includes of standard headers (e.g string, vector etc), although these were not generating compile errors.
The fix for me was similar to VS 2010 Cannot open source file “string”.
Initially, I retargeted the project, hoping this would help (right-click the project, select retarget projects), but this did not in itself cure the problem.
I then took a working project and copied the include directories from project properties->Configuration Properties->VC++ Directories and used these to replace the same property for my broken project. This fixed the problem.
Initially, the value for this property was
$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath);
The replacement value was
$(VC_IncludePath);$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath);
I had the same problem, and tried the answer given by OP, but it did not work. However, copying the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC (specifically bin, lib, and include) from a machine that did work to this machine worked.
It seems the Visual Studio 2012 installer is buggy when it comes to installing into a different drive letter than C:. I have installed the VS2012 into the D: drive and got the same error. I found that for some unknown reason the installer put some of the files into the correct location at:
D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
but the remaining files were at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
so I have moved the files from the C: into the D: location and it fixed the problem.
Some situation cause such problem. If you have uninstalled vs2010. you lost platform C++ binaries for .net framework 4 forever. You have to delete all of VS 2010 2012 2013, clean system up and its accompany components and reinstall them from scratch.
Or you can download this package. Include them in your project that may solve your problem properly.
one simeple way,just copy vc directory(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC) from other computer
Fixing your Visual Studio installation is a good idea, but you don't necessarily need to re-install the same old version of VS. I uninstalled VS 2015, then modified my VS 2017 installation to add the VC++ v140 build tools, and now my project builds.
