Troule with amcap dependencies in DirectShow sample code from msdn

Please bear with me here. It's been forever since I did any C++ development or any Visual Studio development so I'm for all intents and purposes a full-on noob. I need help figuring out some failed dependencies.

I've just installed Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express in order to try and work with the Windows 7 SDK samples for DirectShow. Specifically, I'm trying to build amcap.

I opened the amcap project by double-clicking amcap.vcproj. This launched Visual Studio which warned me to update the project which I did -- just let the defaults run.

When I tried to build the project, I get this:

Code:

1>------ Build started: Project: AmCap, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Linking... 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Strmbasd.lib' 1>Build log was saved at "file://f:\c++ projects\directshow\capture\amcap\Debug\BuildLog.htm" 1>AmCap - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I did some searching and learned that I must first build the baseclasses project. I did this also. Just doubleclicked baseclasses.vcproj and did a build which succeeded with no errors. Lacking a more detailed understanding of what files might be needed, I copied all the contents of baseclasses/Debug_MBCS into the folder where the amcap project was and tried to build again and got this result:

I haven't the slightest idea what is failing here. I'm guessing that perhaps a library is missing or misplaced or something? I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me get this sample project running. More importantly, I'd like to learn how to track down some arbitrary 'unresolved external symbol' problem so I can solve this problem myself in the general case. How does one determine the reason for this type of problem?
