DirectX in VS2010 Linker Error - but linking correct

[Gruwe]

Hello,

I have a problem with Visual Studio 2010 and DirectX.

I want to start with DirectX, so I have downloaded the DirectX SDK Jun 2010 and have installed.

Then I have made a new Project in VS 2010 and have changed the Project-properties vor DX. You can see in the screenshots my settings. I have select the include-folder, the lib-folder and have set the d3d9.lib and d3dx9.lib in the linker-settings. (Its the german version)

I would think everything is ok.

Then I have written this short code example:

#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <d3d9.h>
#include <d3dx9.h>


int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
char* pcCmdLine,
int iShowCmd)
{

PDIRECT3D9 pD3D = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION);
Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION);

pD3D->Release();

return 0;

}

just to try out!

Compiling works fine, but then:

Error 2 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _Direct3DCreate9@4 referenced in function _WinMain@16


Can anyone help me? Thanks! :)

You are trying to link DirectX 64 bit libraries, but your application is configured for 32 bit. This is not going to work.
