Compiling Error: dinput8.lib
When I compile the tutorial I get this error.
The shear amount of these DirectX files available are confusing me to a brink of insanity.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'dinput8.lib'

Ive followed the instructions and this is what I am getting, also everytime I compile VS deletes the tutorial.exe, causing me to reextract from the downloaded file.

Any help would be nice.

Quote:Please download and install Microsoft DirectX SDK November 2008

After installation please copy all files from "DirectX SDK\lib\x86" to "Microsoft Visual Studio\VC\lib"
