That can be safely ignored.

However, if you set an environment variable up ( winkey + break -> advanced tab, on most win 9x+ versions of windows i think ), called WOLFDIR, with it’s value being that of the directory you have ET in, the project will copy the dlls across for you.

NOTE: If you change this whilst running visual studio, you must restart it.

I had this error too.
The compilied/linked files are working.

That can be safely ignored.

I haven’t compiled the source myself, but this is likely a post-build step. If you go to the Project Settings, you’ll likely see a command there along the lines of copy $(TARGET) $(WOLFDIR) - just change it to where you want your compiled executable to go e.g. copy $(TARGET) “C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy territory Dev\etmain\et.exe”.

Or you could just delete the lie from the post-build steps & copy manually.
