How to load xml cascade file in openCV 2.3.1

I try bulid face detect applicatyion on Visual Studio 2010 using C++ and OpenCV 2.3.1 library So, I declaration String type and initialize:

String face_cascade_name = "haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml";

Next, I create a object of class CascadeClassifier:

CascadeClassifier face_cascade;

And I load cascade:

if( !face_cascade.load(face_cascade_name) ){ printf("--(!)Error loading\n"); return -1; };

The project bulid and debugging without problem, but when I run application and application try load cascade program crash!

And I see this communication: The program '[1288] OpenCV2.0.exe: Native' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).

In my case(OSX 10.9), I input the whole path instead of simply "haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml", like "/Users/xxx/Desktop/opencv-2.4.7/data/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml". Good Luck

In my case (win7 64, VS 10 express), changing file permissions for xml files solved the problem, I added Everyone with full controll, and it worked.

I had the same problem with CascadeClassifier and FileStorage.

For example if you try this:

FileStorage fs(xml_fname, FileStorage::READ);
if (!fs.isOpened())
{
    cout<<"can not read xml"<<endl;
}

Probably, it won't work.

In my case, I passed in VC++ from Debugging mode to Release mode, specified .lib files without d at the end (e.g. opencv_core231.lib) and it works now.
