Irrlicht.dll was not found

Post by doja »

Just thinking about using Irrlicht engine for a project. I'm using VS .net and the examples compile fine (i.e. directories for .lib and include files are set up correctly) but when I run them I get the error message "This application has failed to start because Irrlicht.dll was not found. Re-installing the application...". I have tried running HelloWorld with the Irrlicht.dll file in the source directory, 1.HelloWorld, as well in the directory 1.HelloWorld\Debug where the .exe is located. Same message both times. Where should the .dll be at?

Some people put all the binaries and the dlls into one folder. Or, you could copy the irrlicht.dll to c:\windows\system32.

If you do that, you'll have to remember to replace it when you get a new version of irrlicht.
Crud, how do I do this again?
