Quick question on locating DLL

I am using Visual Studio 2003 to start a new project with the Irrlicht engine. I believe I followed the instructions explicitly, but I am getting an error when I start the application. The application compiles fine, but when it starts a message box pops up and tells me it cant find the Irrlicht DLL.

I thought I setup VS to find the proper lib directory, but I guess I didn't. What is typically the problem, setup wise, that wouldn't detect the problem until runtime?

Thanks in advance.

hello,
you must have the VC++ irrlicht.dll in the same folder of the executable.

Thanks, that was the trick.
