1. irrlicht isnt a program, its an 3d engine
2. you need an compiler and maybe an ide to get it to run.
3. you need to know programming to get results with irrlicht.

short explanation:

1. download an ide like Dev-C++:
http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

2. download the irrlicht SDK
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/irrl ... p?download

3. install Dev-C++ and then extract the irrlicht sdk archive to the dev-cpp directory, example:
Dev-Cpp/IrrlichtSDK

4. open DevC++ and then create a new console project. delete all its content and link to the correct irrlicht include files and libraries.

5. have a look at the tutorials to get to know irrlicht.

6. good luck!

i hope this helped

If once you try and don't succeed, why try again?

because if everyone quits at the very beginning you wont get anywhere.
i needed 4 trys to get irrlicht to run, if i would have stopped after the first, you wouldnt see me here posting
