=== Visual Studio & DirectX Configuration on Win7 ===
This fixes the DirectX (August 2007) SDK related compilation errors on the Windows 7 machine. Let me know if this doesn't work.
<ul>
<li>Install DirectX August 2007 SDK</li>
<li>Open visual studio and open property manager (View > Other Windows > Property Manager)</li>
<li>Under the Debug|Win32 menu, double-click the Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user to open the property page</li>
<li>Click on the VC++ Directories under the Common Properties</li>
<li>Add DirectX and Windows 7 SDK include directories:<br /><b>C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK %28August 2007%29\Include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include;</b>$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSdkDir)include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\include</li>
<li>Do the same thing for the library directories:<br /><b>C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK %28August 2007%29\Lib<font color="Red">\x86</font>;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib;</b>$(VCInstallDir)lib;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib;$(WindowsSdkDir)lib;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\lib</li>
<li>Compile</li>
</ul>
