I'm
just trying to compile the empty project from the sdk in C++, but it
can't find all included files... how can I add the reference to these
include files
I am able to compile it in C#, but not in C++...
An extension to the visual C++ fatal error c1083: cannot open include file 'd3d9.h' etc.

I have v6, 2003 and 2005 editions of C++ on my computer and a search of objbase.h came up with just the following:
In My 2005 setup I have the following directories set up in includes :
The library paths are as follows:
And then there is the reference directories. It seems that this is where we tell the system where to search for references. I have never touched mine and they read as follows:
This seems to relate to SDK\2.0 folder of the 2005 installation and SDK\1.1 folder of the 2003 installation respectively dependant on which software is being used. Theoretically you could set this up so that all software uses the same framework but not worth messing about with that now that Ive finally got my program sorted out :D
Hopefully this helps you find your weakness .. good luck.

Usually, if you install the SDK after you install your IDE then it will configure it accordingly.
In Visual C++, go to the "Tools" menu, select "Options". Expand the "Projects and Solutions" node on the left-hand side. Select "VC++ Directories". You should see a pane with a list of folders... Use the drop-down in the top right ("Show directories for..") to be "Include Files". Add the \include folder from your SDK installation. You might want to add the \lib folder to the "Library Files" section as well.
Click "okay" and you're ready to go!

I initially had the same problem and took the advice given above, it sorted it. I was immediately hit with another, very similar problem. The compiler, having found the d3d9.h file, complained with the error message:
Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'objbase.h': No such file or directory
On investigating the error it appeared to be line 40 of the d3d9.h file that was causing the problem. The line of code is given here:
#include <objbase.h>
I thought that maybe a similar problem had occurred so I ran a search on objbase.h to find its directory so that I could include it in the project. The search turned up no results so I was wondering if anyone knows what this problem is and/or how to solve it. I am using the Express version of VC++ 2005, but according to Microsoft the Express editions are fully compatible with D3D9, so I don’t believe that’s the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
