Hi all,

I try to compile the example "light.pb" in the folder "..\example\source".
When I run the light.exe, it returns this error. Why?
What is missing?

Thanks in advance

we need a bit more information to help out, sampb

what version of PB are you using?
what OS?
if windows, do you have DirectX 7+ installed?
what kind of graphics card are you using?
have you tried any of the other 3D samples successfully?

copy engine.dll in folder windows/system32

or in the folder where you put your exe.

Thank you, Comtois and citystate.
I copied all the dll files of folder "compiler" into "source". It works!
