Berkeley DB(Unable to Locate Component)

Question

Hello,i have a problem with berkeley DB.I get a dialog titled "Unable To Locate Componenent" saying "This application has failed to start because libdb48.dll was not found.Re-installing the application may fix this problem",then it crashes after clicking ok.i got the error message when running these simple code below:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <db_cxx.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

Db db(0, 0);

}

I already set the Additional include directories to the "build_windows" directory and i have linked to the "libdb48.lib".I honestly do not know what to do hear.The funny part is,i googled and i had 0 page returned.

I use visual studio c++ 2008 and Berkeley DB 4.8.24

Thanks

Where is libdb48.dll? Is it installed? Where? A hackish solution that should make it work is to copy libdb48.dll into c:\windows\system32. If that solves the problem, then you know that the DLL just wasn't on the path. Then you can find a more appropriate place to put it.
