Hi!
I have a small problem running openRA from source.
the installed version works perfectly but when I run it from within VS2008 I get this error:

The type initializer for 'OpenRA.Graphics.SpriteFont' threw an exception.
Unable to load DLL 'freetype6.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E}

I'm running windows 7 64-bit

any ideas?

thx!

I found the solution thanks to the program Dependency walker, turned out that zlib1.dll was missing from the source directory

Let's at least check for these being present earlier in the startup.
