Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 can't find DLL

Post by Guest »

I get this error message when I try to run the 'Hello World' file with Visual C++ 6:

"This application has failed to start because Irrlicht.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I did set up the Options/Directories to reference both the include and lib files as instructed in the tutorial.

Anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?

I've never had that problem, but do you have the "irrlicht.dll" file in the directory where the executable is??

All the functions that you are using from "irrlicht.h" are in the dll file, so, if you are running from inside VC++ then copy the dll file to where your .cpp file is.

"Irrlicht.dll" copy to "Windows\system32".
