Opencv2.1 did not start in Win7

Question

I am using VS2010 and opencv2.1. Under Win7, the sample programme is below:

#include <cv.h>
#include <cxcore.h>
#include <highgui.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

        IplImage *img = cvLoadImage("funny-pictures-cat-goes-pew.jpg");
        cvNamedWindow("Image:",1);
        cvShowImage("Image:",img); 
        cvWaitKey();
        cvDestroyWindow("Image:");
        cvReleaseImage(&img);
        return 0;
}

The programme failed to start. I see:

The application was unable to start correctly(0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application.

Why?

Answer 1

Is this the same machine where the compiler is installed? If not, did you install the VS2010 redistributable runtime along with your own program?
