Hi All, I'd like to use VS2017 to use OpenCV on a Windows 7 machine. However, whenever I try to load a sln file, it says I need Windows 8.1. Can you confirm that the sample applications for OpenCV do not work for Windows 7?

i think you need Windows 8.1 to run VS2017 OpenCV runs on Windows 7 if properly compiled

@sturkmen i don't think so : upported Operating Systems

Visual Studio 2017 will install and run on the following operating systems:

Windows 10 version 1507 or higher: Home, Professional, Education, and Enterprise (LTSC and S are not supported)
Windows Server 2016: Standard and Datacenter
Windows 8.1 (with Update 2919355): Core, Professional, and Enterprise
Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update 2919355): Essentials, Standard, Datacenter
Windows 7 SP1 (with latest Windows Updates): Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate

Hi. Thanks for your responses. I was looking at the FaceDetection solution. Here's what I get when I attempt to load the solution into VS2017 on Windows 7 Pro.

'FaceDection (Windows 8.1 required)' in the Solution Explorer.

BIS : which sln file are you talking about? Don't you use cmake to build sln solution?

The one at the sollowing location: C:\opencv\sources\samples\winrt\FaceDetection

I assume these would not need the cmake treatment as obviously they are windows/MSVC specific.

Try to use CMake to rebuil all sln project using your own configuration It will take 5 minutes and you 'll be able to check sln file.
