[Help]Cannot Include File 'd3dx9.h'

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'd3dx9.h'
I get this error every time I try to compile my project.
I've installed DirectX SDK and did #include <d3dx9.h> but still nothing

Okay, go to Tool > Options > Projects & Solutions > VC++ Directories

Then check to see if the DirectX SDK is in your Includes Directory. If it is not, you will have to browse to whatever folder you installed DirectX SDK and manually provide the directories, And do this for the Include, Lib, and Executable (bin) directories as well.

If after that you still get errors, make sure to manually add the dependencies your project needs, by going to Project > Properties > Configureation > Linker > Input and adding the dll or lib depending on how ur linking, (static or dynamic) to Additional Dependencies.

You should be able to do it like that.

VC++ 2010 doesn't allow it:\

In VS 2010, Tools/Options does not have a VC++ directories tab (where you normally set the include/lib search folders). Instead if you take project settings for a C++ project, you’ll see VC++ Directories listed under Configuration Properties. Of course these are per project and not per user (as in VS 2008). If you want to change it for the current user globally, bring up the Property Manager and then you’ll see various property sheets under Debug and Release (there may be more configurations on your machine). Just edit the property sheet named Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user and now you’ll have set it globally for your user for that specific configuration.

Please search google next time...I found this in 36 seconds...I timed myself.

install the libraries and the headers manually...
