I'm trying to follow this old book "Strategy Game Programming with Direct 9.0", and it tells me to open one of it's included projects and run it.

Apparently the only files I should be concerning myself with are main.h and main.cpp, but of course this happens:



Maybe it's a little selfish of me to expect the source files be included with the sdk, but can someone shed some light on what's going on, and what the solution is?

Help is very much appreciated.

(p.s: these .cpp files for the d3d headers are NOWHERE on my computer. not in the sdk files or anything)

Those files aren't part of DirectX SDK, are you sure your book doesn't use own library? It should be included somewhere on CD.

damn, older versions only work with windows xp or lower
