my project uses a .lib file that I created.

can anyone help me out ?

Answer 1

Make sure that the directory C:\users\user\documents\ exists and that you have read/write access to it.

With this http://www.google.de/search?q=visual+studio+2008+LNK1104 I found this answer by http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/user?user=einaros.

You need to add the DirectX library folder to Visual Studio's search path. See the "Directories" settings under Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions. Otherwise the linker will not know where to find d3dx9.lib.

Thanks , guyz. I've found the solution to my problem. I had to add quotes around the path to my .lib file in Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies .
