Xinput.h no such file

#1 Did you add the DirectX folders to your Visual Studio Include and Library paths (covered in the Getting Started doc)?

#2 They included the Windows SDK in VC2008 Express directly.

You could add the Include and Library files for the Windows SDK like you did for the DirectX SDK (I thought that was also in the docs).

#3 Do a clean and rebuild on the solution. If that doesn't do it delete the out folders then rebuild.

#4 Which Windows SDK are you using?

#5 I might have found my problem as I think I skipped part of the documentation. The part saying that no longer use the platform sdk and use just regular windows sdk. Which would be why i responded above with no didnt see that part. So im downloading what it has on its links and hope it works :)

#6 Alright going to be updating this as I followed word for word the documentation and still getting the same errors that I did when I had a older version of the windows sdk. Any help with these errors would be lovely. I have the same issue no matter what demo game I try to compile.

Thanks,
Austin

It saved a build log so if that will help I can send it to anyone that may be able to help.

#7 Mind you that is after clean installs of the following

Windows SDK
Grpahics Driver
DirectX
TGEA

#8 Ok now im super confused. Here was my fix.....

Uninstall TGEA for the second time. Reinstall it open up vs2005 standard add the dx includes(I forgot to include the windows sdk) clicked build and bam complied just fine

========== Build: 9 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Not sure why it worked without having to include the windows sdk but it did guessing that may have been the root of this evil this whole time.

So if your like me and cannot figure out what your doing wrong simply try not adding the include directory for "Windows SDKs"

#9 You do not need the Windows SDK for Visual Studio Standard and up, it's already there as part of that install. You only need to download that separately for the Express version.

#10 That would be the issue then :)

Everything is working good now.
Thank you for your help
