title: Running LibVLC.NET Example on Windows 7
body: <p>I want to try out VLC media framework bindings for .Net C#. </p>
  
  <p>I download source from <a href="http://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest" rel="nofollow">http://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest</a> , unzip it, download latest VLC from <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.videolan.org/vlc/</a> , install it to C:\Program Files\ . Then I open downloaded source project, build it and after all I try to launch    D:\libvlcnet-20526\trunk\Tests\Tutorial\bin\Debug\Tutorial.exe and finally error is trown :</p>
  
  <pre><code> Unhandled exception:  System dll not found exception no valid libvlc.dll could br found VLC is probably not installed!
   at LibVlc.Net.LibVlcLibrary.getorloadlibrary(String libVLCLibrary)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I go to C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC and copy "libvlccore.dll", "libvlc.dll" and "plugins" folder (instruciotns in <a href="http://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">http://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/</a> ), then paste these files to D:\libvlcnet-20526\trunk\Tests\Tutorial\bin\Debug\ , in the same directory I create "VLC" folder and paste dll's, after doing that I copied "VLC" folder and pasted in every upper folder just to be sure that this application could see dlls (I guess you already noticed redundacy :) ). I do the same thing with the contents of that "VLC" folder and still get the same error. I  think I did everything what <a href="http://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">http://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/</a> suggested me to do and still I failed to launch that project.</p>
  
  <p>What did I wrong?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>When initializing library I provided path to VLC:</p>
  
  <pre><code> LibVLCLibrary library = LibVLCLibrary.Load("C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I currently have 2.0.0 VLC installed and required version is 1.2 ,however official ftp doesn't have that version <a href="http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/" rel="nofollow">http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/</a> and this time I get yet another error "Procedure entry point aout_ismuted coul not be located in the dynamic link library liblccore.dll". I also tried VLC 1.1.2, but it still fails to launch.</p>
