Hi,
I am an absolute noob to using Irrlicht and pretty much any API / library for that matter. My program builds fine but when I run it I get a 'Irrlicht.dll could not be found' error. As of now my program is in a completely different location than the Irrlicht files. Do I need to copy the Irrlicht-1.2/bin/Win32-VisualStudio/Irrlicht.dll file into my executables directory? or is there another way to reference if in my project? I am using VisualStudio2005.
Thanks,
sevans the noob

All that new VC8 / .net stuff with the manifests and all is making the dll-hell even worse 
What works for a simple dll as the Irrlicht one is to either copy it to Windows/system32 or in your application directory, where your application is. The system32 is the better choice if you don't plan to rebuild Irrlicht yourself, its a fire and forget method. If you plan on rebuilding Irrlicht, you will have to remember to copy the new dll to system32 every time
