[Insight-users] A runtime error : DLL directory must be in the PATH

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Peng,

Executables in Windows look for DLLs in their current
directory and in the PATH.

You simply need identify the directory where you have
ITKCommon.dll and add this directory to the PATH.
Note that you put only the directory, not the full
location of the .dll file.

Since you are using WindowsXP: Go to the icon "My Computer",
right click on it and select "Properties", then the "Advanced"
tab, and  click on the "Environment Variables" button.

A browser list of environment variable should appear,
select "path" and click on the "edit" button, then
add your directory where ITKCommon.dll is to the list
of  directories in the path.


Regards,


   Luis
