Installation: gotta put the DLL in System32?

[Ditchdigger]

I tried the HelloWorld tutorial in MS Visual C++. After monkeying with the directories tab in Tools -> Options I got it to compile and link, but when it started it said "Could not find Irrlicht.dll. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I tried adding the DLL to the "executables" section of the Directories tab, but the only way I could find to get it to work was to go and copy Irrlicht.dll from /bin/VisualStudio into C:\Windows\System32. If I make a game and start distributing it to people, will I have to pass them that DLL file as well and tell them to put it in their System32 directory?

Thanks!

PS: As a new user, I must say so far I'm impressed by how easy Irrlicht is to get into and start using. Loading up and displaying an animated 3D model in one page of code is really something -- straight DirectX takes like 5 pages just to acquire the screen and crap! :p

You don't have to put it into the system32 directory, you just need to put it either in there, or in the same directory as your executable.
