Hi

I am new to C++ world, I am trying to compile a project which is developed in 2000, which works in directx9.0.

I am getting fatal errors c1083:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dxerr9.h': No such file or directory 
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dinput.h': No such file or directory

I downloaded dxerr9.h and included in the header file directory still it gives me error, can anyone help me in this please.

I am using VS2008, Directx11 and Windows 7. I tried to uninstall directx11 and install directx9 but it's saying not necessary to install.

Solution 1

1) Go to Tools | OPtions | Projects and Solutions | VC++ Directories

2) On the right drop down menu select Include files

3) Add in the path of your header files that you installed. Make sur ethe files you are missing are within that folder.

4) Restart Visual Studio.
