This error comes when using the following command in Windows. You can simply run the following command by removing the dot '.' and the slash '/'.

Instead of writing:

D:\Gesture Recognition\Gesture Recognition\Debug>./"Gesture Recognition.exe"

Write:

D:\Gesture Recognition\Gesture Recognition\Debug>"Gesture Recognition.exe"
