Visual Studio Path Registration Sometimes Fails In the June release, the DirectX SDK installer will attempt to automatically register the executable, include, and library path settings needed for compilation of samples and other DirectX programs.

In some circumstances, however, automatic registration fails and, therefore, attempts to include DirectX SDK headers result in errors.
