Have

1. Added the lib folder path in Linker ->Input
2. Copied libMatlabCppSharedLib.lib & libMatlabDataArray.lib & mclmcrrt.lib to the build folder

Kindly helpm thanks in advance

Hi, I had a similar problem LNK2021 unresolved external symbol __imp_runtime_create_session.

I added: libMatlabCppSharedLib.lib, libMatlabDataArray.lib, mclmcrrt.lib, and my library specific *.lib generated by Matlab's application compiler to Linker | Input | Additional Dependencies (in a Microsoft VS 2017 c++ project). Rebuild it and there is no error any more.
