Need some help with linking direct x to my torque project with VS 2010?

#1 The project files should link automatically.

you need to ensure that the correct DX SDK is installed, if i recall correctly torque needs either the february 2010 or june 2010 SDKs anything older doesnt work correctly

You could also consider upgrading to the new free version of visual studio, VS 2013 CE, which is basically the same as the original Pro edition info at www.visualstudio.com

#2 Hi, I have installed that but I can not find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\ the only one I find is Microsoft SDK, I don't see a 2010 SDK, and in that sdk folder I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows and found all of these folders so I'm not sure what ones I need to link, v5.0/v6.0A/v7.0A/v7.1A/v8.0/v8.1 toughs are the folders I find In the SDK folder?

And I'm trying to use the rpg engine tool ket and when I open the project in visual studio I have 2008,2010,2013 they all have Directx errors.

Is there something I'm missing should I just reinstall windows 8.1 or what?

Thanks

#3 You need the June 2010 DirectX 9.0c SDK. If you have it, then perhaps you should reinstall it and watch where it installs to.

#4 Ok ya I'm going to reinstall windows because its not there, and I tried to install let 10 times so I'm just going to reinstall windows thanks :)

#5 does that link to something different based on OS? it is direct link to the june 2010 DX SDK for me.

There is sometimes a mostly irrelevant error that occurs, usually if you have VS2010 installed and that error is the runtime, but it doesnt effect the DX install iirc.

There should be no need to fully reinstall windows, in the event that i'm too late to stop you, install the DX SDK before you install the visual studio version :)

#6 Hi, so should I reinstall visual studio then? I have not reinstalled windows yet I have VS 2008 2010 2013 and I don't think I installed sdk before visual studio?

#7 what happens when you run DXSDK_Jun10.exe? if you get the s1023 error you can resolve that by un-installing the offending Visual C++ 2010 Redistribution Package

Quote:
The work-around for this issue is straight-forward:

(1) Remove the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package version 10.0.40219 (Service Pack 1) from the system (both x86 and x64 if applicable). This can be easily done via a command-line with administrator rights:

MsiExec.exe /passive /X{F0C3E5D1-1ADE-321E-8167-68EF0DE699A5}
MsiExec.exe /passive /X{1D8E6291-B0D5-35EC-8441-6616F567A0F7}

(2) Install the DirectX SDK (June 2010)

(3) Reinstall the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package version 10.0.40219 (Service Pack 1). On an x64 system, you should install both the x86 and x64 versions of the C++ REDIST. Be sure to install the most current version available, which at this point is the KB 2565063 with a security fix.
