In my case  Visual Leak Detector I was using to track down memory leaks in Visual Studio 2015 was missing the Microsoft manifest file Microsoft DTfW DHL manifest  see link Building Visual Leak Detector all way down  This file must be in the folder where vld dll or vld x64 dll is in your configuration  say C  Program Files  x86  Visual Leak Detector bin Win32  C  Program Files  x86  Visual Leak Detector bin Win64  Debug or x64 Debug

Even I faced same error  I fixed it afterwards    Two things you need to look into   Whether your system path is correctly set in your environment variables Check the pre-processors in Project Properties- c c  - Pre-processors  Check whether you have included  CONSOLE  this was causing error for me  For Some applications you need to include WIN32  WINDOWS  CONSOLE  DEBUG QT DLL QT GUI LIB QT NETWORK LIB QT CORE LIB COIN DLL SOQT DLL QT DEBUG    I got this error while I was working in coin3D Application

It is because there is a DLL that your program is missing or can t find   In your case I believe you are missing the openCV dlls  You can find these under the  build  directory that comes with open CV  If you are using VS2010 and building to an x86 program you can locate your dlls here under  opencv build x86 vc10 bin   Simply copy all these files to your Debug and Release folders and it should resolve your issues   Generally you can resolve this issue using the following procedure    Download Dependency Walker from here  http   www dependencywalker com   Load your  exe file into Dependency Walker  under your projects Debug or Release folder   in your case this would be DisplayImage exe Look for any DLL s that are missing  or are corrupt  or are for the wrong architecture  i e  x64 instead of x86  these will be highlighted in red  For each DLL that you are missing either copy to your Debug or Release folders with your  exe  or install the required software  or add the path to the DLLs to your environment variables  Win Pause -  Advanced System Settings -  Environment Variables    Remember that you will need to have these DLLs in the same directory as your  exe  If you copy the  exe from the Release folder to somewhere else then you will need those DLLs copied with the  exe as well  For portability I tend to try and have a test Virtual Machine with a clean install of Windows  no updates or programs installed   and I walk through the Dependencies using the Dependency Walker one by one until the program is running happily   This is a common problem  Also see these questions   Can  39 t run a vc    error code 0xc0150002  The application was unable to start  0xc0150002  with libcurl C   Windows 7 VS 2010  0xc0150002 Error when trying to run VC   libcurl  The application was unable to start correctly 0xc150002  The application was unable to start correctly  0 0150002  - OpenCv  Good Luck

I faced this issue  when I was supplying the executable folder with a  by the  exe requested DLL  In my case  the DLL I supplied to the  exe was searching for another necessary DLL which was not available  The searching DLL was not capable of telling that it can not find the necessary DLL   You might check the DLLs you re loading and the dependencies of these DLL s

In our case  next to trying Dependency Walker  it was a faulty manifest file  mixing 64 bits and 32 bits  We use two extra files while running in Debug mode  dbghelp dll and Microsoft DTfW DHL manifest  The manifest file looks like this    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8  standalone  yes   gt   lt  --  Id -- gt   lt assembly xmlns  urn schemas-microsoft-com asm v1  manifestVersion  1 0  gt       lt noInheritable   gt       lt assemblyIdentity type  win32  name  Microsoft DTfW DHL  version  6 11 1 404  processorArchitecture  x86    gt       lt file name  dbghelp dll    gt   lt  assembly gt    Notice the  processorArchitecture  field  It was set to  amd64  instead of  x86   It s probably not always the cause  but in our case it was the root cause  so it may be helpful to some  For 64-bit runs  you ll want  amd64  in there

I take it that is a Vista Window  I often got this when first trying to port a DirectX program from XPsp3 to Vista   It s a  dll problem  The OpenCV runtime dll will call upon a system dll that will be no longer shipped Vista  so unfortunately you will have to to a bit of hunting to find which system dll it s trying to find   system dll could be vc2010 or vista   This error is also caused by incorrect installation of  dlls  i e not rolling out  hth Happy hunting

I met such problem  Visual Studio 2008 clearly said  problem was caused by libtiff dll  It cannot be loaded for some reasom  caused by its manifest  as a matter of fact  this dll has no manifest at all   I fixed it  when I had removed libtiff dll from my project  but simultaneously I lost ability to open compressed TIFFs    I recompiled aforementioned dll  but problem still remains  Interesting  that at my own machine I have no such error  Three others comps refused to load my prog  Attention    Here http   www error-repair-tools com ppc error php t 0xc0150002 one wise boy wrote  that this error was caused by problem with registry and offers repair tool  I have a solid guess  that this  repair tool  will install some malicious soft at your comp

I agree with Brandrew  the problem is most likely caused by some missing dlls that can t be found neither on the system path nor in the folder where the executable is  Try putting the following DLLs nearby the executable    the Visual Studio C   runtime  in VS2008  they could be found at places like C  Program Files Microsoft Visual Studio 9 0 VC redist x86   Include all 3 of the DLL files as well as the manifest file  the four OpenCV dlls  cv210 dll  cvaux210 dll  cxcore210 dll and highgui210 dll  or the ones your OpenCV version has  if that still doesn t work  try the debug VS runtime  executables compiled for  Debug  use a different set of dlls  named something like msvcrt9d dll  important part is the  d     Alternatively  try loading the executable into Dependency Walker   http   www dependencywalker com     it should point out the missing dlls for you
