An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

This is the error I got, on this line:

videoCapture = highgui.CvCreateCameraCapture(0);

The project shows no warnings or compilation errors so what can be the problem?

What this almost certainly means is that your application is being compiled as 64-bit, whereas the code in OpenCV is 32-bit, or vice-versa.

In Visual Sudio:

  1. Right click on your project in Solution Explorer and choose "Properties"
  2. Choose the "Build" tab in the project properties that open
  3. Look at the "Platform Target" option about a quarter of the way down
  4. Set it to x86 if it's currently set to x64 or Any CPU

Now try re-running your application, the error should no longer occur.

Note: The download page for OpenCV states that "It does not contain 64-bit binaries"
