<p dir="auto">How can this common <code class="notranslate">Windows 7</code> error be fixed? I'm using the Java bindings and I'm about to go nuts since I tried everything and nothing worked:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Running the system file checker <code class="notranslate">sfc /scannow</code> (no violations found)</li>
<li>Searching for each DLL in the Windows search (all DLLs are found)</li>
<li>Repairing the system image <code class="notranslate">Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth</code> (does not work on <code class="notranslate">Windows 7</code>)</li>
<li><a href="https://opencv.org/releases.html" rel="nofollow">Downloading <code class="notranslate">OpenCV</code></a> and extract the <code class="notranslate">DLL</code>s to the Java application's root folder (does not fix the issue)</li>
<li>Installing the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35" rel="nofollow"><code class="notranslate">DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer</code></a> (does not fix the issue)</li>
<li>Rebooting after all previous mentioned points (does not fix the issue)</li>
</ol>

<p dir="auto">Thank you.</p>
<p dir="auto">the installed opencv_world342.dll need "Api-ms-win-downlevel-shlwapi-l1-1-0.dll" which is not in Windows 7. (vc2015_redist.exe already installed).</p>
<p dir="auto">when I copy it from windows10, it works.</p>
