I don't have DX SDK with me, but plz go through the readme and other docs of the SDK to see that, does it supports VC 6.0, coz I doubt that it doesn't. Moreover, make sure that you have latest platform SDK installed at ur machine.

If you're creating a MFC application make sure that you do not forget some "stdafx.h".

Well, Visual C++ 6.0 is no longer supported by the DirectX SDK. You should upgrade to VS .Net 2003 (or higher). For upgrading platform SDK, plz go through this (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en) and read the instructions for installation.
