[Paraview] error making ParaView

[Cory Quammen]

Celia,

Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173406.aspx on
how to edit the environment in Visual Studio 10. Set the environment
to

PATH=<path to your Qt DLL directory>

You don't necessarily need the %PATH% part Utkarsh referred to.

Then you can run ParaView from within Visual Studio.

Hope that helps,
Cory
