Emgu: Unable to load DLL. Device is not ready

I am currently working to get Emgu set up for use on my computer. I have Downloaded a 32 bit installation from sourceforge and installed it. I have created a console project and added the following dll's as references: - Emgu.CV - Emgu.CV.DebuggerVisualizers.VS2010 - Emgu.CV.GPU - Emgu.CV.ML - Emgu.CV.OCR - Emgu.CV.Stitching - Emgu.CV.UI - Emgu.CV.VideoStab - Emgu.Util (I know that I don't need all of these for each project, but I put them in anyway)

I also added opencv_core242.dll as well as the other dll's in the same folder to the output folder as this answer suggested.

I added the folder containing opencv_core242.dll to the as a path variable on my comp like this video suggests.

However, I am still getting the following error

'Emgu.CV.CVInvoke' threw an exception. ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'opencv_core242': The device is not ready. (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070015) ...

Any Ideas on what I am forgetting or what else I need to do?

AS the exception says your compiler is not able to opencv dll.

As an addition Device not Ready seems to indicate that you are referencing opencv dll's from an unreachable or protected path...
