Trouble working DirectX SDK with VC++
- 0
Hello,
My apologies if this is in the wrong section, however I have spent about 30 minutes trying to find a more appropriate section, and have failed to do so, as my question has nothing to do with XNA, and yet that is the only place DirectX is mentioned on these forums. Therefore, if this is in the wrong area and a moderator is reading it, please, move it to the correct area.
Basically, I am having difficulties with Visual C++ (2008) Express and the DirectX SDK, via the Dark GDK.
I recently downloaded the latest release of the DirectX SDK (November 2007) from the Microsoft website, however, I keep getting errors asking for the missing library file "dplayx.lib". I checked in my DirectX SDK Lib folder, and indeed, there is no "dplayx.lib" there.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I tried downloading the older August release of the DirectX SDK, but the download kept cutting out after 210mb.
Many Thanks in advance,
Chris Matthews

Hi Chris,
Dark GDK installer will check DirectX SDK in target machine, if it is missing, it will download and install DirectX SDK August 2007 version automatically, this is what I did to install Dark GDK. And I just checked the lib directory of DirectX SDK, dplayx.lib is exist in August 2007 version. So I suggest you to try this approach instead of downloading DirectX SDK by yourself.
Also, they are sub forums for directx in xna forum, see: http://forums.xna.com/default.aspx?GroupID=7.
hope it makes sense

MSDN forums is not the only place to ask questions. You can ask in the Directx newsgroups as well.
DirectPlay has been deprecated in favor of the XNA framework. If you still need to use DirectPlay, download an older version of DirectX SDK.

Thank you for your reply, Sheng. However, I feel that you did not read my whole post before replying. As I stated, I already tried to download the older (August) release of the SDK, but the download failed.

I am not your network admistratior nor Microsoft's content manager therefore can not solve your download problem. My only suggestion is keep retrying, possibly with a different download software.
