Missing files, DirectX SDK (d3dx9.lib, d3dx9.h)

Question

I installed the DirectX SDK June 10, but when I include the d3dx9.h, the compiler can\'t find it.

I checked the SDK directory, and I didn\'t fi

Answer 1

When I had this problem, I found that I had the d3dx9.h in the
[Program Files(x86) \ Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) \ include] folder.
The compiler needed it to be in
[Program Files(x86) \ Windows Kits \ 8.1 \ include \ shared].
I copied the file to the other location and it worked, but I wonder if that was the smartest fix.
