Hi. I'm trying to do some work on an old project that I made around 2003 using directx 9. However when I compile I get the following errors: dsutil.cpp c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '\dx90sdk\samples\c++\common\dsutil.cpp': No such file or directory d3dfont.cpp c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '\dx90sdk\samples\c++\common\d3dfont.cpp': No such file or directory The include statement isn't in dsutil.h as far as I can tell. I don't know where it's getting dx90sdk because all the directories in the VC++ Directories settings were set to c:\dxsdk\... same with the Project Property Pages. However in hopes of fixing the problem I renamed my dxsdk directory to dx90sdk but still it can't find the file. So now all my lib/src/include directories are pointed to c:\dx90sdk (with the appropriate sub directories). I have no idea c1xx is or where to find it. Note that this problem only happens when I try to build a release version. Debug version runs but has problems that weren't there when I made a build back when I was working on it in 2003. Does anyone know what might be going on here?

I downloaded the directx 9.0 sdk today. Just to make it work with my project. Note that I also have 2 other versions of directx sdks installed. Could that be the problem? I don't see why it shouldn't work if I'm using the older version of the directx sdk.

I have determined that c1xx is a dll file that resides in a couple places under the visual studio directory. I dunno if that helps or not.

Here's my Project Properties -> c/c++ -> command line

/O2 /I "C:\DX90SDK\Samples\C++\Common\Include" /I "C:\DX90SDK\Include" /D "WIN32" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "NDEBUG" /FD /EHsc /MT /GS /Zc:wchar_t /Fo"Release/" /Fd"Release/vc70.pdb" /W4 /nologo /c /Zi /TP

The files are in C:\DX90SDK\Samples\C++\Common\Src which is not where the error is looking for them. However, I don't really have a way of changing that include statement to point them to the right place, so I moved the cpp files from C:\DX90SDK\Samples\C++\Common\Src to C:\DX90SDK\Samples\C++\Common and that didn't fix it either. So I tried doing the same thing on D:\ and that fixed it. It works now, but I still I don't really want that include statement to force me to put the files there. Do you know how to change the directory it's pointing at?
