I am trying to install a library (OpenGL GLEW).  The directions for package say copy glew32.dll into windows/system32 folder.   I do not have permissions to do this, and only information I find say it is unsafe to grant my user permission for the system32 folder.

    Thank you Ralph.  That solved most of build problems; I still have missing dependency when I build project.  Seems I need Opengl.lib file to be made, but that is probably question for different forum.
