unble to locate component

Post by Akin_seasoned_askari »

yea I'm new to this engine and VB C++ 6.0 but this is my problem. I tried to compile and build helloworld.cpp and VB said no warn or errors. but when I try to run the program I get this...This application has failed to start because Irrlicht.dll was not found. Re-intalling the application may fix this problem. (ok I have reinstalled both still this error help!) I don't know if I put the engine in the right dir. I just put it where ever but I linked VB to it. any help will be great. my computer is a gateway 700Mhz 256 ram one 20Gb and one 10Gb hard drive with a Geforce 440 MX-SE 64meg PCI card.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

you need to place Irrlicht.dll 2 directory levels down, and into a folder named media. This is IF you put the same file paths as in the tutorial, if you want to load everything from the current dir, just delete the "../../media/" part from the file paths.

Hope this helps!
