[opensource-dev] Windows compiling problem

[Celierra Darling]

Okay, my problem was that I'd forgotten to uninstall the December 2006
version of the DirectX SDK prior to installing the June 2010 one, and the
2006 version ended up leaving behind many vestigial traces.  Had to
reinstall the 2006 version, then uninstall it.  (I also had to manually tell
the installer to uninstall, i.e. msiexec /X
%temp%/Microsoft_DirectX_SDK.msi, but I'm not sure if that's normal.)
