DirectX include and library directories in VC++

I am getting the following error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'd3dx11.lib'

I think it may be the result of incorrectly setting up the directX directories.

For both include and library directories I simply pasted the location of the corresponding SDK folders like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Include
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Lib

into the include and library directories pages respectively.

Are there additional steps I need to take? Did I set it up wrong initially? I apologize if the answer is incredibly simple, I have never needed to modify these settings before.

Is the `d3dx11.lib` inside of the `Lib` folder that you've set up? – Bartek Banachewicz Jul 22 '13 at 12:58

Wow, I just realized that the correct folder was this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Lib\x86, and not this:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Lib\ – Display name Jul 22 '13 at 12:59
