We don't currently have a Windows installer, so before running Interface, you will need to ensure that all required resources are loadable.
* In particular you must make sure all required DLLs are loadable by making sure that the folders containing them are in your path. You can accomplish this in several different ways.
One technique is described below:
* create a directory C:\Development\HiFi\windows-dlls
* add C:\Development\HiFi\windows-dlls to your path
* copy the following files into this directory: zlib1.dll, freeglut.dll, glew32.dll
Note: You will need to find the above DLLs from where you installed the associated dependency.
* You also need to make the interface\resources directory available to interface.exe. To do that, copy the contents of C:\Development\HiFi\hifi\interface\resources to C:\Development\HiFi\build\interface\Debug\resources or if you're building a Release build to C:\Development\HiFi\build\interface\Release\resources
