Installing OpenCVDotNet

If all you want is to play around with the binary version of OpenCVDotNet (write some OpenCV apps from C#), follow these steps:

Download and install OpenCV. Make sure to install OpenCV to C:\Program Files\OpenCV, or otherwise OpenCVDotNet DLLs will not be able to find it.

Download and install Visual C# Express.

Download & install the latest version of OpenCVDotNet.

After installation, binaries and source code will be installed to C:\Program Files\OpenCVDotNet.

You can install example code if you wish to try things out...

Press CTRL+F5 to build and run the examples program.

If you receive a FileNotFoundException with HRESULT 0x8007007E) after you execute your program, see this issue for possible solutions.

I try to install it. But it gives me the error that it cannot find cv110.dll. I thought it was because instead of having "Program Files" I have "Archivos de programa" (I'm spanish), but I create the directory and reinstall OpenCv? and the installation program gives me the same message. How can I fix it? surikato..at..gmailcom Thanks

You must download openCV v 1.0, not 1.1 pre

Can I use Visual Studio 2005?

The installer doesn't work for Windows Vista (or 7) 64-bit because OpenCV installs in the folder "c:\program files (x86)\", and not in "c:\program files\" where OpenCVDotNet looks for it.

I just thought of something else that might fail during install, if you are installing on a non-english OS. The folder "program files" might be called something else... In a danish installation the folder will be called "programmer". To be sure that you are checking the right folder you should look in "%programfiles%\opencv\" and "%programfiles(x86)%\opencv\".

I have managed to install this and test it with the sample that was given to us. My question is does this have the full capability of OpenCV such as edge detection algorithms, finding shapes, etc.

I have a problem with installing this library too... I'm using: - win xp professional sp3 - opencv 2.0 - opencvdotnet 0.7

I installed opencv to the folder C:\Program Files\OpenCV (had to create it as I only had the folder "Programme" - German Windows) I always get the the same error message that OpenCV needs to be installed to the foler I created - so it seems it's not found ... did anyone have the same problem? and solved it?

any help would be very fine thanks in advance

Dear david.pocivalnik,

The error you getting is because you are trying to install the latest version of the openCV where as openCVdotNet currently supports OpenCV 1.0 only, the OpenCV 2.0 file naming conventions are different, so the openCVDotNet us unable to find the re-named file binaries in openCV 2.0....hope this helps somebody..!
