Need help setting up...

Hello,
I bought the Reactor Engine today in the hopes that I could teach myself how to program. Unfortunately, I can not seem to get anything to work. I downloaded the DirectX 9.0 SDK and I went into VS6.0's options->directory and added the directories I thought corresponded to what it needed. When I try to build anything I open I get tons of errors. I also can not find the RE SDK library (debug or release). I found some project files called RE SDK MSVS6.0 and RE SDK MSVS6.0 Tools.
Here is one of the many errors I am getting:
"error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'LPDIRECT3D7'
RE_OGL_TextureSurface.cpp"
Thanks in Advance,
Matt Baucco

did you Drag them to the top?
notice there are many entries... and it is a matter of precedence.
the ones at the top are checked first if they have the file you look for no more are searched.
if the file it found does not have what you want it will fail compile.
the dx files exhist in one of the upper most path declarations.
these ones dont have the updated code needed for the sdk..
simply moving these new declarations you added to the top should fix your troubles.

I can not get CVS working, it does not seem to like my passowrd and I can only find instructions for CVS and Torque, not RE.
Thanks again,

I dragged the dx9 directories to the top because I read about it in these forums, but I did not move the RE ones. I will give that a try also.I can not get CVS working, it does not seem to like my passowrd and I can only find instructions for CVS and Torque, not RE.
Thanks again,

Ok, I got it working by chaning the order of directories and adding a couple I missed. I will post the exact directories and their order as soon as I get a chance in case anyone else is having a similiar problem.Thanks very much for the help!
