I am very desperate now...
I have project in Visual C++ 2010 using Qt and OpenCV. I got to phase I need to load XML file using openCV. But, I have no idea where is the working directory of my project, when run thru VS (F5). I mean, I read all config, copied desired file almost everywhere in my project folders, but it still is not seen by my EXE (OpenCV)...
What Am I doing wrong? Thanks.
right click on your project click on properties/Configuration Properties/debugging you start in whatever working directory is set to.

I have copied a C++ solution folder written with visual studio 2013 to my Pc and tried to run it (I mean VS Debugging) with VS 2022. the solution Contains 5 projects but I just target one of them so unloaded the rest and set the one as Startup project and this error happened.
Error Image
Solution file is working well on first pc and project is not a win32 project its x64 (I don't know much from win32 or x64).
Unable to start program. [VALUE].dll is not a valid Win32 application error in Visual Studio 2017
According to this question I tried selecting project, setting as startup, repairing VS, installing vcredist_x64 but non helped.
After Running, VS make Debug folder in solution Directory not the project "LP_Dll\x64\Debug" (LP_Dll is the solution name) without any .exe file, and the error path is exactly this folder, can it be from that?
Project properties the "Configuration Type" was mistakenly changed to .dll.
I have a problem that will be very simple to solve but I don't know how to do it.
Scenario: I want to run an emulator coded in C++ by a YT (javidx9) in Visual Studio. The project is here: https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/olcNES and the folder is "Part#2 - CPU"
Problem: I never use Visual Studio, so its something new for me, and my problem is that I don't know how to run the project (emulator). And I can't find any post or article on the internet about my problem. (I tried to create an empty project in VS and then copy the emulator files to the folder of my empty project and then run it, but it sent me an error that the files were not found (and its because that isn't the correct way to run the program and I don't know how to do it)).
My request: I would be very grateful if someone could explain to me how to open and run this project (the emulator) correctly in Visual Studio.
Thanks!!!
Your project does not have. sln file. You need to create new project in visual studio. Last file has main function as below. You need to run this main file(olcNes_Video1_6502.cpp)
You may need to check path of headers included from other projects.
I wanted to tinker this open source remake of the famous Claw.
Visit https://github.com/pjasicek/OpenClaw
Before I start with how I've cloned this game and tried to build it, I'm new to the open source community. I did the following things.
I cloned the repository.
Opened the project using Visual Studio 2017 Community edition and I changed the Configuration to Release and platform to Win32.
I then built the libwap solution without any errors.
Then I used CMake 3.11.0 to generate the required files for the Box2D solution and then generated it and then the Box2D build was a success.
I built the Midiproc manually and finally, I tried building the entire solution.
It threw a MSVCR120D.dll missing error and I copied all the .dlls from the game's release folder https://github.com/pjasicek/OpenClaw/releases
Now the game runs just fine when I launch it from the File explorer, but when I try to launch it from Visual Studio 2017, it throws the following error.
Check out this image:
How do I run the game from Visual Studio? Have I misconfigured the Visual Studio?
If you need any more details on what I did, please let me know.
[EDIT] I want to configure Visual Studio to be able to run the release and modify the source code so I can tinker it and try to understand how the game works internally.
I cloned the repository again and did a clean compilation of all the solutions. Turns out there was a problem when I copied/overwritten all dlls from the release build. Now, the game builds and executes fine.
Thanks for the help.
So for a class we have a couple of programs where we are using opengl. To make setup easier we started by cloning glitter https://github.com/Polytonic/Glitter. I then compliled it according to the instructions for visual studio 2017 and added my code to the project I am working on. I did this on my desktop computer but saved the files in onedrive. When I open the same project on my laptop and try to build the project I get the error "the source directory D:/OneDrive/fall_2017/Glitter does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt" and several other similar errors. On my laptop the directory to the files is C:/Users/Me/OneDrive/fall_2017/Glitter. The visual studio program lists the full path as D:/OneDrive/fall_2017/Glitter which is the path of the folder on my desktop.
Is there a way for me to change the filepath or is the issue with my cmake file? Do I have to rebuild it for every computer I use it on? I don't know a whole lot about visual studio so I don't know what I need to change to get this to work.
Turns out I have to rebuild on every computer. Thanks to those who left comments.
I want to open a video file in my OpenCV C++ application with
cap.open("../../data/Example.MP4");
but somehow when I run the application in Visual Studio 2015 (I've tried both Debug & Release mode), it cannot find the file.
Surprisingly if I run the application by just double clicking the .exe in Windows Explorer, everything works fine and the video file opens as desired.
Does somebody know why Visual Studio cannot find the file?
Thanks a lot!
The problem is related to the Project's Working directory, on Visual Studio. From inside it, it isn't finding the file...
Go to Project Properties, Debugging. There you will see, by default, that the Working directory is your project directory. Change it to $(OutDir) and your path should be fixed.
