Hi Émeric, Placing the external libraries in OSG_ROOT\bin should work as long as the main executable is also in OSG_ROOT\bin. Windows should first search for DLLs in the same folder as the executable before searching in PATH. So there is no need to add your application to PATH, or worry about conflicting DLLs in PATH. I've deployed my application like this for years and never had any issues.
