title: Installing Caffe with CUDNN 8.0 and Visual Studio 2015
body: <p>I'm a bit over my head here, so please try not to strangle me for all the mistakes I am making until the end :)</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to install Caffe using a Windows 10 pc with VS 2015 and CUDNN 8.0.  I initially had trouble with the Microsoft supported Caffe files, so I found <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/caffe-users/Z8k0Tr3Ybww" rel="nofollow">this link</a>.  I couldn't figure out what to do with the first set of files, so I opened up the second set of files and used the official instructions to edit CommonSettings.props, installed the necessary packages, and hit build.</p>
  
  <p>I got an error saying that OpenCV could not be found, even though it was definitely installed.  It seemed like it was looking for OpenCV in a place where it did not exist, so I copied the packages into the directory it was looking in.  I am now getting an error <code>cannot open file libboost_log-vc140-mt-1_59.lib</code>.  I've looked around and I can't find any file like that.  What many things am I doing wrong?  Thank you.</p>
