Revision history [back]

I spent a couple of weeks tearing my hair out because I was trying to follow various tutorials but OpenCV wasn't installing a build\x64\vc14 folder. Finally the penny dropped... THE VERSION OF WINDOWS IS IMPORTANT.

OpenCV install assumes that if you're using outdated Windows 7 that you must be using an old Visual Studio too; and only creates the vc14 folder if you're running Windows 10.

My solution is to create a Virtual PC (mine in Virtualbox) running Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015 community and OpenCV 3.1. Fingers crossed.
