AI Objects and Waypoints Sample

Hi

I have just istalled Visual C++ 2008 express, and as a first experiment have tried to Debug and build the AI objects sample from the SDK.

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// SimConnect AI Objects sample
//
// Description:
// Adds Non ATC controlled simulation objects.
// With the default flight (Cessna at Seatac) - turn off the engine
// and watch the antics.
// Press z to create the objects
// Press x to load them with their waypoint lists
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I keep getting the following error;

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'I:\FSX.obj'

I: is the drive where I have FSX and the SDK installed.

I have tried adding the directory folder paths to

C++ General

and

Linker General and command line
