Help! It doesn't work when I run my exe from Visual Studio!

Do not worry. All you have to do is adjust your project properties:

Navigate to the debugging section and enter the following values in Command and Working Directory:

Now it should work!

Help! It still doesn't work!

So, where is your executable?
If it's being copied to another location, you can't use the $(OutDir) variable.

If you use the samples directory of the OgreSDK, you need to change the values in Command and Working Directory to the following:

Command : $(OGRE_HOME)\bin\$(ConfigurationName)\$(ProjectName).exe
Working Directory: $(OGRE_HOME)\bin\$(ConfigurationName)


You also need to setup your project to copy your executable to this location. Open up Project - Properties - Build Events - Post Build Events:

The command line to enter is copy "$(OutDir)\$(TargetFileName)" "$(OGRE_HOME)\bin\$(ConfigurationName)".
