Check if that lib file is on your machine, if it's not, you probably haven't installed some Windows SDK that will normally supply it.
Hi David,
Thanks for replying.
I have already installed Windows SDK and OnecoreUAP.lib file is present in my system.
Also I linked that file in Additional dependencies under Linker and Library Directories under VC++ directories. But still I am getting the same error. Please help me how to overcome from this issue.

Hi Aishwarya Bhat,
Thank you for feedback. I have create a new project with OneCoreUap.lib, and met the same error. I found, the onecoreuap.lib is a component of Windows 10 SDK. But the visual studio 2013 is based on windows 8.1 SDK. So we recommend you could use visual studio 2015 or later version.
Or you need to change these default properties in Project Properties->VC++ Directories in visual studio 2013:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x86 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6 Tools C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\um and C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\shared and C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\winrt C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.19041.0\um\x86 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x86 In addition, you also need to add C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Lib in Project properties-> linker -> General -> Additional Include Directories.
After that it could build successfully.

Dylan

Hi @Dylan Zhu-MSFT ,
Thanks for replying me.
As you said I added Onecoreuap.lib path in Additional Include directories. But still I am facing the same error. Please suggest if there are any other method where I can solve this error.

Aishwarya Bhat
Hi @Aishwarya Bhat , thank you for feedback. I have modified my answer, hope it could help you.
Hi @Dylan Zhu-MSFT ,
Thanks for suggesting me detailed methods.
When I tried to replace those macros with the path, whichever you mentioned, I was not finding any method to replace the default predefined macros. Instead I added those extra paths whatever you have mentioned in different 4 sections. But I was facing the same error. So I just want to know how to change predefined macros with our values?
And also my system is 64 bit so I was pointing to x64 folder instead of x86.
Regards,
Aishwarya Bhat
Hi @Aishwarya Bhat , thank you for feedback.
I found a simple way, you could direct copy the "onecoreuap.lib" from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\version\um\x64 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x64, it will save much time about making windows sdk(x64) compatible with visual studio 2013.
Hope it could help you.
Best Regards,
Dylan
Hi @Dylan Zhu-MSFT ,
I tried the simple method of copying from windows 10 folder to 8.1 folder. But still it did not work for me.
Can I know how did you replace predefined macros you mentioned above?

Aishwarya Bhat
Hi @Aishwarya Bhat , I'm sorry I missed something.
This is my complete project configuration(x64), please check it:
In VC++ Directories:
$(VC_ExecutablePath_x64)
$(WindowsSDK_ExecutablePath)
$(VS_ExecutablePath)
$(MSBuild_ExecutablePath)
$(FxCopDir)
$(PATH)
$(VC_IncludePath)
$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath)
$(VC_LibraryPath_x64)
$(WindowsSDK_LibraryPath_x64)
$(VC_IncludePath)
$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath)
$(MSBuild_ExecutablePath)
$(VC_LibraryPath_x64)
The image:
In the Linker->Input:
In addition, the onecoreuap.lib file has been copied to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x64

Dylan
Hi @Dylan Zhu-MSFT ,
Thanks for your feedback.
I checked all my project settings. All are same as your project settings and also I had copied OneCoreUAP.Lib file to 8.1 folder. But still it's giving same error.
Can I know where I am going wrong?
Regards,
Aishwarya
Hi @Aishwarya Bhat , thank you for feedback.
I have re-created a new clr project, and copy the OneCoreUAP.lib file to 8.1 folder, and it also works. So could you create a new project, then check if it could work?
Best Regards,
Dylan
Hi @Dylan Zhu-MSFT ,
Thank you so much for your suggestion.
I tried to recreate the project in VS2013. But still I was facing the same issue.
So later I tried to recreate the project in VS 2017 and made all settings and opened the same in VS 2013 where OneCoreUAP.Lib file was also copied to 8.1 folder. Then only I was able to compile the DLL successfully. So thank you so much for your all suggestion.
One more problem I got from here is:
Our PCIE board setup OS is Windows 10 64bit. So when I put the dll generated from VS 2013 with platform toolset as Visual Studio 2013 (v120) for 64bit, its giving error like DLL not found. It's throwing System.DllNotFoundException exception. Do u have any suggestion for this error?
Regards,
Aishwarya
Hi @Aishwarya Bhat ,
Maybe you could follow this thread to register your dll into your system: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/apps_windows_10-winapps-appscat_tools/how-do-i-register-dll-files-in-a-windows-10-64-bit/27429279-61ff-463b-bb77-3f30be2954ba

@Aishwarya Bhat Did you copy all of the DLLs dependencies to the target system? Maybe the DLL isn't loaded because one of them is missing.
Hi @Dylan Zhu-MSFT ,
Thanks for your reply.
DLL is already registered in the system. Because when I used the PLDA.dll file generated from VS 2017 it was working fine in the board. But the PLDA.dll file which I generated from VS 2013 is not working and it's giving the above mentioned error.

Aishwarya Bhat
Hi @RLWA32 ,
Thanks for your suggestion. I think all DLL dependencies re present in the system. Because when I used the PLDA.dll file generated from VS 2017 it was working fine in the board. But only PLDA.dll file which I generated from VS 2013 is not working and it's giving the above mentioned error.

Aishwarya Bhat
Hi @Aishwarya Bhat , sorry for the delay in reply. Did you have a try to add this dll into system path environment?
