Using Irrlicht.lib 32bit on windows7 64bit

[Mercurial4]

I've followed the visual studio setup tutorial at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/example001.html. I'm using visual studio 2015 community edition.

1. I've added the include folder to 'Include directories'.
2. I've added lib\Win32-visualstudio to 'Library directories'

When I tried building I was getting 'The program can't start because Irrlicht.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem'.

I figured that the visual studio can't find the .dll so I:
- Added the <irrlicht-home>/bin/Win32-visualstudio directory to Library directories
- Added Irrlicht.dll to Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies

Now I'm getting:
LNK1107 invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2C0; File: Irrlicht.dll

My run configuration is Debug x86. Should I even be able to compile using 32bit lib/dll?

Thanks in advance

That's strange seems like corrupt memory or something, I'm using win 7 pro 64bit and the compiled 32 or 64 bit projects work fine for me.

Start with the example project files coming with Irrlicht. Latest are VS2013, but VS should update them automatically.

Oh, I didn't know that examples are included. Thanks. They build just fine. The only thing needed to get em working is: Right click on project -> Configuration Properties -> General -> Platform Toolset -> <Your Visual Studio Version>

Yeah, that or install Windows7.1 SDK, that can be used with all VS versions. One of those things where I have no really good solution for - either Irrlicht.dll doesn't work with different VS versions or people have to install the Windows7.1 SDK.

the only thing you have to do is to undo the bin thing you've done and go to properties -> general -> output directory and there, put the bin->Win32 (or whatever it is) directory

it's something that should be posted on the tutorials
