DIrectX April 2006 ERROR

Ok, I installed the April 2006 version of DirectX. Then I downloaded a sample tutorial from the Sample browser. The project compiled correctly without any errors, but then when I executed the project it said:

"Cannot start because d3d10.dll was not found"

Why is this happening I believe I followed the correct means of installation.

Just on a side note, I was running this in VS 2005. I believe VS 2005 came with the platform SDK, so the problem may not lie there. But I am using Windows xp sp 2.

Is there anyone that can help me fix this issue

    Ok, but can I still develop DirectX 9 Apps using this SDK on Windows XP Or do I have to get another update

    Are you trying to run the DX10 samples, these require the Windows Vista system and will not run on the Windows XP System.

    Yes you can develop DX 9 applications with the april SDK.

    You just need tomake sure that you are not using the DX10 systems. Inside the sample browser most of these are all marked with a preview icon, or they have references to DX in the description.
