D3DX11CompileFromFile doesn't work

I have been trying to make simple colored triangle, and everyting worked fine until i got to the point render a triangle with color shader. Why is it that D3DX11CompileFromFile function can't find the shader file even if it is placed in the project and in same folder as the exe file. The program compiles without any errors or warning. Also why is it that half of the program is messed up with LPCSTR and LPCWSTR conflicts when using #define UNICODE?

This function (and the entire D3DX library) is deprecated now. It's probably best to not rely on it.

Well i found a solution, since i had .NET framework 4.5 installed, i found on the internet that it causes problems with visual studio 2010. So i uninstalled it. and reinstalled visual studio 2010 from maintanance option since it couldn't start any other way. This seems to solve every issue with the shader i had.
