C++ – MSVCR90D.dll not found in debug mode with Visual C++ 2008

cdebuggingmsvcr90d.dllvisual-studio-2008winsxs

I have a problem with Visual C++ 2008. I have installed opencv and I've created a new program and I build it with no errors. However, it complains about not finding MSVCR90D.dll when debugging. In release mode there is no problem at all.

I do have MSVCR90D.dll in one of Winsxs folders. Does anyone know a get-around to this problem? Is this a known bug?

There are several potential solutions described in this forum post. See if any of those help.

One hint from there:

Go to %System Drive%\Windows\WinSxS and look for the directory x86_Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_x-ww_597c3456

If this doesn't exist, go to the VS setup and make sure you have all libraries installed under VC++.

And another one:

I had the same problem, but fixed it by turning off incremental linking (Project properties... Linker... General... Enable Incremental Linking: No).

Confirming the last one:

Projects built on a software-mounted drive complain about a missing MSVCR90D.dll. The problem goes away if you turn off incremental linking (and rebuild all, of course).
