OpenVINO ToolKit 2020R3 Samples on Win10 Visual Studio2019 - Cannot find tbb.dll

[BKKUEH]

New to OpenVINO. Need help to tell me what went wrong and how to resolve.

I tried to run the sample project "hello_classification" that comes with OpenVINO ToolKist 2020.R3 on a Win10, Visual Studio2019 in "Release - Debug" and get error "tbb.dll" cannot be found.

I had added the tbb.dll file folder to the project's "Configuration Properties\VC ++ Directories\Library Directories\", however the error message is the same.

I had also completed the verification per "https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_windows.html" in CPU successfully. Able to ran the classification in console mode. 

Now trying the achieve the same in Visual Studio.

Greetings,

If you followed Openvino Official Tutorial correctly from https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/openvino-toolkit/get-started.html

then the setup should be correct

The tbb.dll is part of Intel's Threading Building Blocks library.

You can try to follow these steps from https://wikidll.com/intel/tbb-dll to troubleshoot

Sincerely,

Iffa

This no longer works with the new install process

https://docs.openvino.ai/2023.0/openvino_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_from_archive_windows.html

This new process does not include tbb.dll

Hi @BKKUEH 

If you still see the issue after following @Iffa_Intel recommendations (especially please ensure that you run setupvars.bat file before running the sample), then please share the full listing with us: the command that you use and the exact error message that you see.

Thanks.
Best regards, Max.

I got it resolved by adding PATH=C:\Users\BK_WenQi\Documents\Intel\OpenVINO\inference_engine_samples_build\MyLib\MyTbb to the debugging environment in the Visual Studio
