I have installed Dark GDK, and Microsoft VC++ 2008. However, when I try to run Dark GDK "Getting Started" psogram I ghet a load of 2019 errors:

1>------ Build started: Project: Getting Started, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Getting Started : warning PRJ0009 : Build log could not be opened for writing.
1>Make sure that the file is not open by another process and is not write-protected.
1>Getting Started : error PRJ0006 : Could not open the temporary file 'c:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Tutorials\Getting Started\Getting Started\Debug\RSP00000322883568.rsp'. Make sure the file exists and that the directory is not write-protected.
1>Getting Started : error PRJ0004 : Could not generate command line for the 'VCLinkerTool' tool.
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Tutorials\Getting Started\Getting Started\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>Getting Started - 2 error(s), 1 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Can anyone help me to get this up and running?

Does the file exist? Is it write protected?

Also are you using Vista? it might be a UAC problem, try running VC++ as administrator

Thanks AlexI
I am using Vista and have tried running vc++ as administrator. I have also tweaked some of the linker libraries. This works ok with the directx samples, but I now get the following message:
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: Getting Started, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Deleting intermediate and output files for project 'Getting Started', configuration 'Debug|Win32'

I cannot find dplayx.lib anywhere on my system; what have I not installed

Make sure you're using August 2007 DirectX 9.0c SDK. DirectPlay is deprecated and removed in newer versions of the DirectX SDK.

Thanks both. I have now installed the correct version of DirectX and everything is working fine.

Best wishes
