cegui opengl template (glfw3.cpp) has exception

I'm trying to compile and run the OpenGL template provided with CEGUI on CEGUI 0.8.7.

I've changed the code to just use this main block:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

And by inserting an actual path here (not actually ...):

String ceguiDir = ".../cegui-0.8.7/"; DefaultResourceProvider* rp = static_cast(System::getSingleton().getResourceProvider()); rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("schemes", ceguiDir + "datafiles/schemes/"); rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("imagesets", ceguiDir + "datafiles/imagesets/"); rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("fonts", ceguiDir + "datafiles/fonts/"); rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("layouts", ceguiDir + "datafiles/layouts/"); rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("looknfeels", ceguiDir + "datafiles/looknfeel/"); rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("lua_scripts", ceguiDir + "datafiles/lua_scripts/"); rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("schemas", ceguiDir + "datafiles/xml_schemas/");

And I get an exception at the following line:

System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().injectTimePulse(time_elapsed);

Exception reads: "Exception thrown at 0x00007FF7DCC45ECB in playground.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000006F00000051.".

I'm compiling on Visual Studio Express 2017 and I've included just about every lib I can find from CEGUI, not to mention a good number from some OpenGL tutorials I was working on (e.g. opengl32.lib glu32.lib):

• CEGUIBase-0.lib
• CEGUIOpenGLRenderer-0.lib
• CEGUICoreWindowRendererSet.lib
• CEGUIExpatParser.lib
• CEGUICommonDialogs-0.lib
• CEGUIDirect3D9Renderer-0.lib
• CEGUIDirect3D11Renderer-0.lib
• CEGUISILLYImageCodec.lib
• D3DX11Effects.lib
• freetype.lib
• glew.lib
• glfw.lib
• jpeg.lib
• libexpat.lib
• libpng.lib
• pcre.lib
• SILLY.lib
• zlib.lib

I kind of thought this template would just work out of the box. What am I missing?
