step 1 install clearimage sdk download and install the clearimage sdk https //barcode reader inliteresearch com/get cisdk step 2 configure your project use visual studio c++ clearimage example project https //barcode reader inliteresearch com/get ci example cpp or follow the instruction below when using the example project, copy \clearimage dll\ in the executable folder or in the path in your visual studio c++ project include a copy of \c \program files (x86)\inlite\clearimagesdk\clearimage wrapper hpp\ in every source file that uses clearimage api add a copy of \c \program files (x86)\inlite\clearimagesdk\clearimage lib\ to your project's \properties \>linker \>input \>additional dependencies\ entry place \clearimage dll\ in a location where it can be found according to microsoft's dll search order https //learn microsoft com/en us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic link library search order rules typically it is a working folder where your application started from the \clearimage dll\ is installed in 32 bit version from \c \program files (x86)\inlite\clearimagesdk\win32\clearimage dll\ 64 bit version from \c \program files (x86)\inlite\clearimagesdk\x64\clearimage dll\ this code demonstrates the use of clearimage dll api runtime errors are reported in \exceptionci\ object \#include "clearimage wrapper hpp" void main() { try { 	 ciserver server = createciserver();
