LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'dplayx.lib', when trying to compile Dark GDK

Did you set the path of the library directory to your project setting?

How can I do it?

Right click on Solution, then click on References then add the path

I did add my path into:

<right click> References -> Framework and References -> Add Path

D:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Lib\x86

but it didn't help and I still get the same error message:

can you see the file in the Game directory?
if not install it from here:http://www.cubic.org/player/doc/node69.htm

I copied dplayx.lib to Game folder, now it compiles (why do I need to copy lib files into the Game folder anyway?). Now I get a bunch of other error messages:
