DirectX SDK Errors

23
I don't really think I mean errors, but it seems so on my computer.

I used to have Visual C++ 2005 Express, and I tried the DirectX SDK, and it didn't work. I had some idea in my head about the express version not having every single library or header file required to make the SDK work, so I decided to get the full version of Visual Studio 2005. I'm glad I bought it, because now I have a whole load of stuff to work with, but sadly, the DirectX SDK still refuses to work.

If any of you have also had this problem, and have resolved it in some way, please help me.

Example: ConfigSystem

Error:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 1>------ Build started: Project: ConfigSystem, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
  2. 1>Compiling...
  3. 1>dxstdafx.cpp
  4. 1>c:\documents and settings\administrator\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\configsystem\common\dxstdafx.h(53) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'XInput.h': No such file or directory
  5. 1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ConfigSystem\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
  6. 1>ConfigSystem - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
  7. ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Sorry if anyone else has already posted something like this, because I searched for a thread like this, and couldn't find one.

Thanks.

Can you post your header includes?

I had this problem yesterday.

from the main project screen, select Project from the menu bar. then choose the Project Name Properties option. Your property pages dialog will open. Select the folder C/C++. On the right side of the property page dialog, you'll see an area labeled "Additional Include Directories". Place the path to your 'XInput.h' in the text box then click Apply. That will tell VS 2005 where to find the header file you need.

Hope this helps.
