You have to include the lib and include files for DarkGdk in the visual c++ IDE.

1) Open visual studio.
2) Click Tools...Options.
3) Click the [+] next to the Projects and Solutions option.
4) Click on VC++ Directories.
5) In the combobox in the right-hand corner, select 'include' from the drop-down menu.
6) Click the 'new folder' icon to make a new entry.
7) Click the [...] button on the right side of the new entry.
8) Navigate to ...\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include
9) Select 'OK' to set that new entry to the include folder.
10) Select 'lib' from the drop-down menu of the combobox.
11) Repeat steps 6-9, but for step 8, navigate to ...\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Lib\vs9
12) Click 'OK' until all windows are closed.
13) Now try to compile a DarkGDK project.

Make sure that you have installed the DirectX August 2007 version. You must have installed a different version.

You need to download the DirectX August 2007 and then in VC++ link it to the Include and Library folders. When you link it it should have these paths.

C:\DxSDK\Include
C:\DxSDK\Library

Note: DxSDK is just whatever the name of the folder you saved the SDK too.

Once you have them linked it should compile and run if it doesn't then uninstall the DxSDK then reinstall it and try again.
