I have installed Dark GDK and vc++ 2008 express from the microsoft site. I have also downloaded and installed Directx sdk (November 2008). Trying to run the Dark GDK Hello World tutorial generates an error message: "cannot open file dplayx.lib". This is not surprising, because the file is not included in this version of DirectX. Neither can I find it on the version of DirectX that came with the DarkGame Studio disc that i bought recently. What's going on?

You need to use the version of directx that DarkGDK was compiled with, not the latest version (or at least one very close). August 2007 works for me, so try that.
