Not long ago I downloaded both Visual Studio 2005 Express Beta 2 and Microsoft Platform SDK. I made a folder called PlatformSDK in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC directory and inside this folder I copyed the Include,Bin and Lib folders from Platform SDK install directory. I can compile win app but I don`t know how to set up DirectX SDK with VS. One thought was to copy the content of DirectX SDK Include and Lib dir to Include and Lib dir found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK. When I tryed to do this I was promted with a overwrite message. I would appreciate any help. [Edited by - Calin on August 11, 2005 4:26:47 PM]

The SDK installation should take care of setting up Visual Studio for you, if you have the recent version of the SDK.

Do you mean DirectX SDK?
I am asking this because I have DX9 SDK (June update)installed and still recive this error:

I have passed the lib`s in the linker in the wrong way. Works fine now.
