visual c++ *.exe - Unable to locate Component

[paulmcco]

I'm trying to build a project that uses cURL-7.18.1 in Visual C++ 2008. I have installed cURL correctly, no problems there.

I linked to the libraries folder and added dependancy for libcurl.lib, and included the header folder in properties.

Now though when I try to run the program, I get a popup window that says:

libcurl.exe - Unable to Locate Component:

This application has failed to start because libcurl.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I read other posts...they recommend installing redistributable sp1...I did to no avail.

Anything I can do to solve this problem?

Windows looks for DLLs first in the working directory, next in each of the directories specified in the PATH environment variable. Put the DLL where the system can find it.
