How to run the compiled helloworld code in VC++ 6.0
One thing missing from the help in the helloworld example. I've just started using irrlicht myself and got stuck on this problem too for a little bit. The solution is dead simple - you just need to tell Visual Studio where the irrlicht.dll is.
So, like how you add the \lib and \include directories, you have to also add the \bin to the "Executable files"

Best is to copy the dll so that it is next to your exe. Copying it to windows\system32 or another system directory is a bad advise IMHO. As there will be version clashes, when you have programs that are linked with different versions of irrlicht. Those can be hard to track down when your forgot that you have placed it to system32.
No offense
