Trying to run Allegro 5.0.10 with MSVC 2013 Professional

Hi all! I was following this wiki page to get Allegro to run on Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional-

https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Windows,_Visual_Studio_2010_and_Allegro_5

I downloaded the MSVC 11 file from here (there was no msvc 13 file :-/) -

https://www.allegro.cc/files/

All went well until the last step when I tried to actually run the program. I get a system error-

"The program can't start because allegro-5.0.10-monolith-md-debug.dll is missing from your computer."

And then an unhandled exception ntdll.dll Unable to locate dll.

Any help to solve the issue will be much appreciated. I look forward to making games and participating in the community :)

The dlls are all in the bin directory of the archive.

two choice:

-add dll lib to your path
-copy the dlls near your executable

EDIT: If you use MSVC there should also be things inside the UI to fix your problem, not sure I don't have any MSVC.

Thanks although it seems I had made an error while reading instructions from the wiki. After following the instructions again, problem is now solved ;D
