Tools / Options

Projects and Solutions / VCC++ Directories

in INCLUDE FILES add "C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include" or the path to your GDK INCLUDE dir.

in LIBRARY FILES add "C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Lib\vs9" or the path to your GDK LIBS dir.

Thanks for that BJ, you got me past two hurdles and pointed me towards the final furlong.

In the include files I also needed
Crogram FilesMicrosoft DirectX SDK(August 2007)Inlude

and in Library Files I also needed

Crogram FilesMicrosoft DirectX SDK(August 2007)Libx86

(There are two subfolders in Lib x64 and x86. x64 gave me loads of errors but x86 gave me a good outcome. Why? not too bothered at the moment 'cos it works.)

and now I can get it to work!! oh goody!

Now I am going to try to create a template so that I do not need to
do the messing every project.

Thanks again BJ!

sorry i forgot about the DX SDK includes

I have recently installed the March2009 DX SDK and the lib includes appeared on their own in VC++!!!!

also the x64 libs are for 64bit version of windows.
