Error with OpenCV - c

Question

I'm trying to run simple code with installed OpenCV library
And have an error: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002).
visual studio 2010
OpenCV 2.1.0
I've searched everywhere but cant find how to solve this problem...
This is my code. What can I do?
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <cv.h>
#include <cxcore.h>
#include <highgui.h>
#ifdef _EiC
#define WIN32
#endif
static CvMemStorage* storage_face = 0; //Memory Storage to Sore faces
static CvHaarClassifierCascade* cascade_face = 0;
void detect_and_draw( IplImage* image );
//Haar cascade - if your openc CV is installed at location C:/OpenCV2.0/
const char* cascade_name_face ="C:/OpenCV2.0/data/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml";

int main()
{
IplImage *image =0;
image = cvLoadImage("picci.jpg",1);
if(!image)
{
printf("Error loading image\n");
return -1;
}
cascade_face = (CvHaarClassifierCascade*)cvLoad( cascade_name_face, 0, 0, 0 );
if( !cascade_face )
{
printf("ERROR: Could not load classifier of face cascade\n" );
return -1;
}
storage_face = cvCreateMemStorage(0);
cvNamedWindow( "result", 1 );
// Call function to detect and Draw rectagle around face
detect_and_draw( image);
// Wait for key event.
cvWaitKey(0);
// release resourses
cvReleaseImage( &image );
cvReleaseHaarClassifierCascade(&cascade_face );
cvReleaseMemStorage( &storage_face);
cvDestroyWindow("result");
return 0;
}
//////////////////////////// Function To detect face //////////////////////////

{
double scale = 2;
// create a gray image for the input image
IplImage* gray = cvCreateImage( cvSize(img->width,img->height), 8, 1 );
// Scale down the ie. make it small. This will increase the detection speed
IplImage* small_img = cvCreateImage( cvSize( cvRound (img->width/scale),cvRound (img->height/scale)),8, 1 );

}
}
cvShowImage( "result", img );
cvReleaseImage( &gray );
cvReleaseImage( &small_img );
}

Two potential problems:
Your app cannot find the OpenCV DLLs, you might need to copy the OpenCV DLLs into your respective bin/release or bin/debug dir.
Or the OpenCV binaries were built with a different version of CRT than what you have installed on your system. Did you build OpenCV binaries on your system? That could help.
