Irrlicht.dll was not found

I've searched around and I can't seem to figure out what my problem is. I went through the first Irrlicht tutorial (typing it all into my own project) and when I compiled (VS2008 Express), it said it couldn't run because it couldn't find the Irrlicht.dll.

I opened the first tutorial example solution and compiled, and it ran. To make sure I hadn't made any strange typos in my solution, I copied the tutorial's main.cpp into my project and compiled it... still can't find the Irrlicht.dll.

So now, my project is exactly identical in every way to the example project that came with Irrlicht. Mine won't run; the example one will. Obviously I've added the 'lib' and 'include' directories to VS. I don't know what other info I can give. Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks.

This question is answered in the forums.

One last time:
Visual Studio runs the compiled program in the folder where the sln file (or vcproj, can't remember atm) is. You can change this in the project properties (somewhere under debugging)

Eh, well I searched exact phrasing of the error on Google and here at the forums and didn't find anything on this forum about it. Oh well.

Thanks, it was the debug folder (with the vcproj) that it needed to be in. It works now.
