Hi TarunM,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I noticed that you are using Visual Studio 2019 version 16.10.0.

There is a similar issue regarding this version which you may refer to this post. You may edit the demo_security_barrier_camera.bat by adding “:Rebuild” after the name of the projects for it to work.

Change the codes in lines 204 and 205 to:

echo "!MSBUILD_BIN!" Demos.sln /p:Configuration=Release /t:security_barrier_camera_demo:Rebuild /clp:ErrorsOnly /m

"!MSBUILD_BIN!" Demos.sln /p:Configuration=Release /t:security_barrier_camera_demo:Rebuild /clp:ErrorsOnly /m

You may also update your Visual Studio 2019 version to solve this issue.

Steps to update Visual Studio to the most recent release is available on the following page:

Wan
