VS 2010 running Opencv240 application on x64 machine: tbb.dll is missing

Question

I am running an opencv240 application with Visual Studio 2010 on Win7 x64 machine. The app. builds ok but when running, I get the following error:

tbb.dll is missing...

Although tbb.dll is available under C:\\OpenCV-2.4.0\\opencv\\build\\common\\tbb\\intel64\\vc10.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Answer 1

tbb or tbb_debug under running it in debug mode? In any case you should include it in your path. In the case of tbb_debug, it isn't included in the opencv archive thus download it manually from http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/ .

Answer 2

add the path of the missing dll to the environment variables present under

win7 - mycomputer:properties->advanced system settings (to the left) -> environment variables (bottom right) -> new .... the path goes in the value column
