cannot find filepath permission denied

[pixelpuffin]

one error every time i try to compile this script http://www.directxtutorial.com/Lesson.aspx?lessonid=9-4-4 towards the bottom of the page main.cpp
"id.exe cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Include Permission Denied"
ive run as administrator and quadruple checked the path and the problem persists
im using code::blocks with mingw
anybody know whats wrong here?

[pixelpuffin]

could this be my anti virus blocking it

[afei59]

maybe firewall set?

[modoran]

That location - C:\Program Files (x86)\ could be problematic on 64 bit systems due to file system redirection.

To see if your antivirus is the problem disable it.


Anyway, to compile DirectX application use Visual Studio, not MinGW, I don't think it will work even if you fix "permission denied" error you are getting now.

dude, it will be pain in the ass if u work with code::blocks
switch to visual studio (I recommend 2010 or 2012) ...

i tried firewall and antivirus disabling which did not work :/
is visual studio free if so please leave a link
