!! Prerequisites:
# Go to [http://www.ogre3d.org/download/sdk].
# Download the SDK matching your IDE version.
# Download and install DirectX: [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=04ac064b-00d1-474e-b7b1-442d8712d553&displaylang=en|directx_aug2009_redist.exe]

!!Run the installer:
{img fileId="1675" width=250 thumb="y" alt="" rel="box[g]"} 
!!Unpack to a suitable location:
{img fileId="1674" width=250 thumb="y" alt="" rel="box[g]"} 
!!Go to the directory of the newly installed sdk and copy the full path:
{img fileId="1677" width=250 thumb="y" alt="" rel="box[g]"} 
!!Open a command window and set the environment variable OGRE_HOME to point to that path.
You just copied the path so you should be able to paste in into the command window after {MONO()}'setx OGREHOME '{MONO}:
{img fileId="1676" alt="" rel="box[g]"}
{CODE(wrap="1", colors="winbash")}setx OGRE_HOME D:\OgreSDK\OgreSDK_vc9_v1-7-1{CODE}
!!That's it. :)
