fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'dshow.h': No such file or directory

[Sam_c]

check under tools -> Options->projects and solutions, VC++ Directories that the include directory in present. if it is... copy the dir path, go to explorer check that the file you need is in that directory. hope that fix's it

[yaminisridaran]

I went to tools->options but i dont find projects and solutions tab but i find directories where I have entered the include files.But still the error occurs S.Yamini

oh my fault, assumed you were using VS 2005 :( ...i cant remember VS6 errm you could try a direct include eg #include "C:\program files\dx\inc\file.h" something like that might help hope someone else can give a better solution i'll check VS6 when i get home, no longer supported at work sorry about that.

go to menu Tools->options, click "Directories" tab in option dialog, input "c:\dxsdk\include" (your directx installation directory), then move it to top.

open the menu options, go to the directories tab and add the directx include paths on top of all include paths in the IDE directories.

So have you checked to see if dshow.h actually exists on your machine?

If you can't answer yes to DavidCrow's question, you should maybe download the latest Platform SDK from Microsoft, which is the home of the DirectShow SDK. Once you install the SDK, set the build paths as others have explained (if the install didn't do it for you). Mark
