directx9 - OgreD3D9Texture.obj on vc++6 linker error

hi guys,

im at a bit of a loss, ive uninstalled all my directx sdk's.. reinstalled the absolute bleeding edge lasted update (feb 2005) all to no avail. I still get the same error. Ive triple checked the directories that vc++ uses are correct, and i still cant work out what the heck is causing this one.

OgreD3D9Texture.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirect3DBaseTexture9
dxerr9.lib(dxerr9.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___security_cookie
dxerr9.lib(dxerr9.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol @__security_check_cookie@4
..\bin\Release/RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll - 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)

any ideas? hints? pointers?
there was another thread saying that the vc++6 needed a summer2004 version of dx9, im downloading that at the moment, will try as soon as possible....

cheers

the reinstall of the older version of dx9 fixes this (summer 2004), not really sure if this is a good outcome or not!.

cheers

Matt,

Because you are running MS C++ 6.x you need to download the DX9 SDK EXTRAS from MS. The file is called: dxsdk_oct2004_extras.exe. This provides support for MS C++ 6.x compiler.

MS have dropped support for VC6 as of the December DirectX SDK. Time to upgrade, people
