[ITK] Error when trying to run the read image example

[Med SWEng]

I have tried installing ITK 4.0.0. I managed to install and build it. Now,
returning back to the "read image" example in the ITK software guide, I get
the following when trying to build the project in Visual Studio:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file
'C:\ITK\Build\lib\Release\ITKCommon-4.0.lib'

Why is that?

Thanks.
