I would like to second Todd on this one... what the heck is up with this thing!???
First I need to add a .lib thats been removed from DirectX
2 years ago, now I have to make a fake dummy lib, for it to match an outdated DirectX library...
Very, VERY frustrating first impression.
oh WAIT! I forgot... the first thing was actually having to manually add GDK support to Visual Studio'08 because the installer cant handle non-default installation paths or My Documents folder...
To the GDK developers, 2 words:
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Infact, Ill go ahead and give you them, so you dont even have to google:

Now, "My Documents" may NOT be %userprofile%\My Documents because windows in different languages use their own texts (eg. "Meus Documentos" in portuguese) and also, in Vista/7 its now just called "Documents"; so here's where u get the my docs path:
REGISTRY:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal
in my case "D:\LFLFM\Documents"
