Problem with OpenCV integration

Development Programming & Scripting C++

I followed this tutorial (https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Integrating_OpenCV_Into_Unreal_Engine_4), the code compiles fine but I have a problem with the VideoCapture class declared in videoio.hpp. This is the crash report:

I made a quick search and found some people (they were not using unreal but had a similar call stack) claiming that disabling “incremental linking” should solve the problem. However in the project settings in visual studio this option doesn’t exist (for unreal projects I suppose).
Any ideas?

The exception is thrown when I try to load the “opencv_world300.dll” file. Because PublicDelayLoadDLLs in ModuleRules create a \DELAYLOAD rule in the makefile this only happens with the first call by the program to a function in that DLL - in this case cv:VideoCapture()
In the tutorial is specified:

Provided I put the dlls in the right folders, could this problem arise because these actually aren’t the right folder?

[EDIT]
Since I’m opening the project in the editor the dlls should of course be in the “…\4.9\Engine\Binaries\Win64” folder and not in the project Binaries folder. Problem solved
