OpenVINO with Visual Studio 15 2017 and Visual Studio 16 2019

[AdvanChipA]

I'm using Windows 10 with Processor Intel Core i7-6500U CPU 64-bit Operating System. I successfully verified OpenVINO 2019 R3.1 installation with verification scripts with Visual Studio 15 2017.

I have another application required Visual Studio 16 2019 (I am still keeping Visual Studio 15 2017 in my computer), now I verified OpenVINO 2019 R3.1 installation with verification scripts and have error:

"Creating Visual Studio 16 2019 x64 files in C:\...\Intel\OpenVINO\inference_engine_samples_build...
CMake Error: Could not create named generator Visual Studio 16 2019"

Please let me know how to keep OpenVINO working while both VS 15 2017 and VS 16 2019 co-existed in my computer.

Will the new OpenVINO 2020.1 work with VS 16 2019?

Thanks.

Hi Alice,

Thanks for reaching out. The OpenVINO toolkit documentation lists Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, 2017 or 2019 with C++ and MSBuild as a dependency. At this time, we have not tested Microsoft Visual Studio 2016 with the OpenVINO toolkit.

You should be able to run the build_samples_msvc.bat VS2015|VS2017|VS2019 to specify which Microsoft Visual Studio to use. Feel free to share your results with the community if you decide to continue using Microsoft Visual Studio 2016.

Regards,

Jesus
