You must go to main project's property page. From the solution
explorer tab you must right click on the main project name and select
properties from the context menu.

>From there go to Linker->Input, the additional dependencies field is
where you need to specify the location of your lib files. If the
directory listed here is incorrect you'll get that linker error.

>From the same property page if you go to the C++->Precompiled Headers
option, then you can turn them off and shouldn't need to include
stdafx.h anymore.

The libraries should all go in the lib directory of your compiler.  The
dlls can go in c:\windows\system.  I believe you have the pdf that
explains this in your case dir.
