error C1189: #error :  You are building this module against the wrong version of DirectX. You probably need to remove DXSDK_DIR from your include path and/or _WIN32_WINNT is wrong.

I have installed dxsdk 2010 June

Compilation fails from this build on dolphin-emu.org
Can we still build Dolphin on VS 2010 & VS 2012?

VS 2010 & VS 2012 - - 
this's vs2013 project
vs2010/vs2012 has been removed

Well, if earlier versions have been dropped, then the WindowsBuild wiki should be updated.
BTY, was it really necessary to drop those great versions of VS? Couldn't we keep and update the .SLN files?

Well afaik, soon it won't compile in those versions

I may or may not have been hasty in committing this, but most of my motivation to switching from VS2010 to VS2013 is so that Dolphin can use the many C++ features supported by the latter and not the former (and not have to worry about the bugs in the former and not the latter :).  Yes, the wiki page needs to be updated.

Apparently I can't grammar tonight.

If you're going to comment out a call to an unavailable function it's probably wise to set the return value to anything other than S_OK...

tueidj: see "hasty", above :)
but, maybe it will give impetus to someone to fix that issue (D3DX11 not available on current DX SDK).
However, that is the only (currently known) regression.

Is there any advantage to only building for win 8?

XP is dead ...? , dejavu.
