windows.gaming.input.h: No such file or directory #67

I just attempted to build after downloading but am unable to due to a missing windows.gaming.input.h. There is little information on where to find this file when googling. Any advice?

I'm guessing you already solved your issue, but for future reference I'll answer here.

DirectX Tool Kit supports a wide combination of Microsoft platforms. As noted on the wiki, there are a number of different projects.

The Windows.Gaming.Input.h header is used by GamePad when building for Windows 10, typically for a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. The DirectXTK_Windows10.vcxproj is configured to use VS 2015 and the Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK (14393) via the latest Windows Tools package for VS 2015, and has _WIN32_WINNT set to 0x0A00 to indicate building for Windows 10.

If you are targeting another platform, then be sure to set _WIN32_WINNT to the appropriate value: 0x0601 for Windows 7, 0x0603 for Windows 8.1, etc. This is already configured in the other vcxproj files.
