DInput8 Strange Error
Author
This statement:
keyboard->SetDataFormat(&c_dfDIKeyboard);
generates this error:
Linking...
dinput8.lib(dilib2.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debugging information corrupt; recompile module
Error executing link.exe.
Why oh why do I get these weird errors? It seems like this stuff is just working against me.
My psychic powers of debugging tell me... not a lot actually, except maybe to ask what version of Visual Studio are you using and what version of the DirectX SDK have you got?

Thought so. VC++ 6 isn't supported anymore with the recent SDK releases. I think official support ended with Summer 2004 or thereabouts. There are occasionally components that still work (somebody managed to make D3D work still I think) but nothing is guarenteed and it's probably hit n miss - you either have to get an earlier DX SDK before the support was dropped, or upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio. Perhaps the VC.NET 2003 Toolkit would let you use it, as it contians replacement compiler & linkers which should still work, not entirely sure though.

GAH, is that what the problem is? They're already cutting off support for VC++ 6?! DAMNIT.

Do I have to revert back to an earlier SDK, or can I revert back to an earlier DirectInput?
I don't know to be honest. I think reverting the whole SDK is simpler and safer than just trying to backtrack DirectInput on it's own. If you mean 'revert' as in try and use an earlier version by #defining DIRECTINPUT_VERSION or whatever the macro is called, then I'm not sure, but you can always give that a shot, and link against dinput.lib instead of dinput8.lib.
EDIT: you don't need the entire Visual Studio - just Visual C++ .NET that's only like $80 if you shop around, also I wasn't actually talking about the retail, I was talking about the free toolkit you can download for it which you can get here

I think doing the following fixes it:
- Go to msdn and download MSVC Toolkit 2003 (30MB or so)
- Install it
- Open VC6
- Go into Tools -> Options -> Directories
- Add in the include/lib/bin directories ABOVE the old VC6 ones (but below the dx9, of course).
That should do it (someone lemme know if i forgot something... i got Dinput 8 to work after that though).
