When you download OpenCV 3.0 for Windows, you will find the following pre-built:

  • build/[x64|x86]/vc11/ ==> Visual Studio 2012
  • build/[x64|x86]/vc12/ ==> Visual Studio 2013

So the pre-built are only for these two version of Visual Studio, either for debug or release mode. If you want to use a more recent / older version of Visual Studio, you have to build it yourself using CMake.
