I won't be able to help you with how to set the paths up from the VS
IDE, some other Windows developers may want to help you there. Here's
what I do to setup evironment correctly before lauching the
paraview.exe

* Start the VS COmmand Prompt

* do the following to extend the PATH

  set PATH=<Location of all Qt dlls>;%PATH%

*  cd <Location of paraview.exe>

* Now run the paraview.exe from the command prompt itself.

  paraview.exe

To setup environment globally, look at:
