I'm trying to install OpenCV 3.0.0 to my project within MS Visual Studio 2013/2015 (two PCs). I'm doing same things as in tutorial described here http://tinyurl.com/cbdvucw, but on both PCs I get an error, saying that 'opencv_world300.lib is missing, try to reinstall programm'. I sure that it's not missing, I've set system variables: OPENCV_DIR: 'D:\opencv\build\x86\vc12' and added to PATH: '%OPENCV_DIR%\lib'. Restarted my computer, but Visual Studio says error above. All project properties are the same as in the tutorial. What should I do to solve this problem? Thanks.
You need to build the library again
Go back to cmake step and activate Build_opencv_world

At the start I'd like to note that I've spent some time researching this issue and suggested solutions for similar questions like this one didn't help me.
Problem background
I need to migrate a Firebreath plugin project (which I haven't worked on previously) from PC_1 to PC_2.
As far as I'm aware the project was started on PC_1 on Visual Studio 2010 and later moved to Visual Studio 2013 Pro. There's one solution consisting of 19 projects. I have an instruction which says that in order to get the plugin installer I should first Build project_x and after that Build project_y_WiXInstall. Both steps work without any issues on this machine.
Then there's PC_2 which had Visual Studio 2015 Community installed before I started working on it. I've removed it, installed Visual Studio 2013 Pro (version 12.0.21005.1 REL - exactly the same as on PC_1), moved all of the needed files and I'm trying to get rid of all of the compilation errors. So far I figured out I had to install Cmake 2.8, Windows Driver Toolkit 7.1 and manually override an incorrect VCTargetsPath MSBuild variable
Problem description
Currently when I try to compile the project on the new machine I get these two errors (this is an image link since I can't embed images yet on this account). I'm not sure what's going on with the first error message since it looks incomplete and the file CUSTOMBUILD doesn't exist, but I'm not bothered by it too much since the previous compilation error I fixed also had a similar "artifact" as the first error and it disappeared after fixing the second one.
The covered part of the second error message is the project path. The error origin (Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets file, line 64) looks like this:
<!-- Error out if toolset does not exists in Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 -->
<VCMessage Code="MSB8020" Type="Error" Arguments="$(_CurrentPlatformToolsetShortName);$(PlatformToolset)" Condition="'$(ToolsetTargetsFound)' != 'true'" />
What didn't help
The error description suggests using an Upgrade Solution... option, but there's no such thing when I right-click the solution
As an accepted answer for the question I've posted at the start of my post suggests, I've checked the Properties of all 19 of my projects (including the project ZERO_CHECK) but their Platform Toolset is already set to Visual Studio 2013 (v120).
I've also tried changing the Platform Toolset to inherit from parent or project defaults for all of the projects. This resulted in it switching to Visual Studio 2010 (v100) (not installed) and after that I've right-clicked on the projects and chose Upgrade VC++ compiler and libraries. After this the Platform Toolset was back to the Visual Studio 2013 (v120) but it didn't help with the compilation error.
As a NON-accepted answer for the question I've posted at the start of my post suggests, I've tried searching for all of the occurrences of 10.0 and V100 in all of my .vcxproj files to replace them but I haven't found any occurrences of them.
[EDIT]
I just got an idea to try building the project with MSBuild from the command line. There's a bit more info compared to errors inside Visual Studio, so maybe it will help with resolving the issue: https://pastebin.com/JhN3dXM3
So the thing you're missing here is that FireBreath projects are built using CMake -- the actual contents of the build directory should always be completely temporary and never stored in source control. To build the project on a new computer you need to run the prep command again from scratch.
If the previous maintainer changed the build files manually and/or migrated it to a newer version of visual studio without using cmake to do it then they did some very ugly things and all bets are off... good luck.
This is why all the firebreath documentation (I wrote most of it) strongly urges that the build directory be transient and you always do project file updates in cmake.
Hope that helps!
Usecase: I intend to use the OpenCascade C++ library in my C++ project. I need to do simple polyline offsetting and polygon scaling down.
So I am attempting to install the OpenCascade C++ library on my Windows 10 64bit machine to use in Visual Studio 17. My first attempt was to use the windows installer then run the batch files (env.bat, custom.bat). But I have read on this forum that the windows installer wont work for Visual Studio 2017 - is that correct?
So I have now followed the build instructions here. And now I have opened the sample projects in Visual Studio 2017. When I try to build the project I get the following errors for each of the sample projects:
Error MSB8036 The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution". TKQADraw C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Platforms\x64\PlatformToolsets\v141\Toolset.targets 36
Any advice on what I have done wrong? Maybe I didn't build it properly following these steps? Also, given my usecase above, do I need to do all this if I just want to use OpenCascade in a limited way?
Is there documentation or a link on how I create a new Visual Studio C++ project and link all the OpenCascade libraries?
As the error says, you haven't installed the correct SDK version, or maybe the version you installed is out dated. Check the SDK install and try again.
I recently updated visual studio 2015 and now, when i try to build any project it always fails and i get the error
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB8036 The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the
project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting
"Retarget solution". Proj D:\Program Files (x86)\visual studio
2017\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Platforms\Win32\PlatformToolsets\v141\Toolset.targets 34
I retargeted the solution as it said, and the problem persisted, even though the retargetting was completed.I decided to install visual studio 2017 because of this, and, lo and behold, it did the exact same thing.I'm also using windows 7.
What is the problem and how can i fix it?
I faced this problem too. Re-ran the Visual Studio 2017 Installer, go to 'Individual Components' and select Windows 8.1 SDK. Go back to to the project > Right click and Re-target to match the SDK required as shown below:
I installed the 8.1 SDK's version:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive
It used 1GB (a little more) in the installation.
Update October, 9 (2020). There's a https error: the sdksetup link is https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=323507
"Save link as" should help.
Another way (worked for 2015) is open "Install/remove programs" (Apps & features), find Visual Studio, select Modify. In opened window, press Modify, check
Languages -> Visual C++ -> Common tools for Visual C++
Windows and web development -> Tools for universal windows apps -> Tools (1.4.1)
and Windows 10 SDK ([version])
Windows and web development -> Tools for universal windows apps -> Windows 10 SDK ([version])
and install. Then right click on solution -> Re-target and it will compile
I had win10 SDK and I only had to do retarget and then I stopped getting this error. The idea was that the project needs to upgrade its target Windows SDK.
I realize this post is a few years old, but I just wanted to extend this to anyone still struggling through this issue.
The company I work for still uses VS2015 so in turn I still use VS2015. I recently started working on a RPC application using C++ and found the need to download the Win32 Templates. Like many others I was having this "SDK 8.1 was not found" issue. i took the following corrective actions with no luck.
I found the SDK through Micrsoft at the following link
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/ as referenced
above and downloaded it.
I located my VS2015 install in Apps & Features and ran the repair.
I completely uninstalled my VS2015 and reinstalled it.
I attempted to manually point my console app "Executable" and "Include" directories to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Kits\8.1 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools.
None of the attempts above corrected the issue for me...
I then found this article on social MSDN https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/5287c51b-46d0-4a79-baad-ddde36af4885/visual-studio-cant-find-windows-81-sdk-when-trying-to-build-vs2015?forum=visualstudiogeneral
Finally what resolved the issue for me was:
Uninstalling and reinstalling VS2015.
Locating my installed "Windows Software Development Kit for Windows 8.1" and running the repair.
Checked my "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Kits\8.1" to verify the "DesignTime" folder was in fact there.
Opened VS created a Win32 Console application and comiled with no errors or issues
I hope this saves anyone else from almost 3 full days of frustration and loss of productivity.
Grep the folder tree's *.vcxproj files. Replace <WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>8.1</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion> with <WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>10.0</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion> or whatever SDK version you get when you update one of the projects.
For me in the Project Properties Settings General->Target Platform -> Change Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 solved the issue
Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version
in the project property pages
or
by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution"
If you do visual studio guide, you will resolve the problem.
I encountered this issue while trying to build an npm project. It was failing to install a node-sass package and this was the error it was printing. I solved it by setting my npm proxy correctly so that it could reach the npm repo
PROBLEM: I ONLY get this compile-time "Windows SDK version 8.1 not found" error ( and a few other very-hard-to-resolve-nuisance errors -- cannot list them all ) when I export a project from an old version of MS Visual Studio (VS) to the new MS VS (2017), using the new MS VS export/"One-way Upgrade" feature.
SOLUTION: I have since learned to not use this export/upgrade feature and instead just create the new project from scratch -- using all my old source files, of course. Only my project settings have to be rebuilt, to be clear.
This is a bit of a pain, and a shame the export/upgrade feature won't work properly like it used to, but this is is actually easier and faster in the long run. MUCH better than working through a list of spurious errors that really should not have arisen in the first place.
Hope this helps...
I'm trying to use VS 2015 to build and run a project that was originally created in VS 2013. When I do, it gives me an error message saying I can't run it because MSVCR120D.dll is missing from my computer. I tried to install the VS 2013 redistributables from the microsoft website, but that didn't help. Looking in my System32 folder revealed that even after installing it, all I have is MSVCR120.dll, not MSVCR120D.dll. I also tried downloading the .dll file on its own from opendll.com and placing it in the correct folder, but that did not solve the issue. What do I do here? I have no idea how I'm supposed to install this .dll I need.
Have you tried to set platform toolset to v140 in project properties?
When I try to debug my C++ application I get the error
The program can't start because MSVCP100D.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I found someone with a similar problem here: Remote debugging C++ on the Windows Server 2008 platform with VS2010; MSVCP100D.dll missing however the solution given there doesn't seem to show up when I go to the solution properties.
Would reinstalling Visual Studio fix this problem?
Usually you don't want MSVCP100D.dll on your system. It's for debugging purposes only. If you get this error for your release build you must make sure that you didn't accidently add a 'Debug'-tagged Project Output to your setup project.
If you really need to debug your software on a remote machine, I suggest you do the following:
Create a new Setup project called 'CRTDebug100Setup' and add the following Merge Modules (found under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules):
Microsoft_VC90_DebugCRT_x86.msm
policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_DebugCRT_x86.msm
Build, and deploy on your computer to be debugged!
Reinstalling Visual Studio fixed the problem.
This can also occur if Generate Debug info is not set to No
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Debug info
Followup on l33t's answer above (tried to revise it but it did not seem to appear).
Added later by gpicher 10 Jan 2012: I believe those .msm packages would be for a 9.x version of the DLL in question, not a 10.x version. I resolved a similar problem I had by making a setup project with Visual Studio 2010 installed on a 64 bit Windows installation, using the merge module Microsoft_VC100_DebugCRT_x86.msm in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules. There's a similar x64 version of the .msm if the application showing the error dialog is a 64 bit application. In this case a third party was providing me a debug build of their application in order to develop and test new plugin code against, so I couldn't change build settings, and wanted the debug functionality.
Find the Visual Studio 2010 install iso file.
Extract cab44.cab file from the ISO.
Then extract file "F_REDIST_DLL_APPLOCAL_msvcp100d_x86" from the .cab file using 7z.
Rename the file to msvcp100d.dll.
For x64 version. The cab file name is cab26.cab and the file name is F_REDIST_DLL_APPLOCAL_msvcp100d_x64.
For similar issue such missing msvcr*d.dll for another visual studio version. Here is the way I used to find the answer:
Find the Visual Studio ISO.
Extract all the .cab file.
7z.exe t *.cab > filelist.txt
gvim filelist.txt
searching for the interested file name. Hope this helps.
