DirectX SDK June 2010 issue

Question

I'm trying to run the sample code from the book Physics for Game Programmers. I have installed the DirectX SDK June 2010 but get the following errors.

Cannot open include file: 'd3drmwin.h'
Cannot open include file: <d3drm.h>
Cannot open include file: <d3dtypes.h>

I believe I have added all necessary include and library paths and Additional Dependencies (D3D10.lib & D3DX10.lib) as I can access the header files d3d10.h and d3d9.h without any issues.

Any ideas how to get their code running? Is the code possibly referencing a old version of DirectX?

Edit: I have installed the SDK and Set up the following:

Project->Properties->VC++ Directories->Include Directories and added

C:\Program Files %28x86%29\Microsoft DirectX SDK %28June 2010%29\Include;

Project->Properties->VC++ Directories->Library Directories and added

C:\Program Files %28x86%29\Microsoft DirectX SDK %28June 2010%29\Lib\x86;

Project->Properties->Linker->Input and added

D3D10.lib;D3DX10.lib

Edit

Ok, I have figured out those header files belong to DirectX 8. So the latest SDK doesn't support them. Now i just have to figure out where to download the DirectX 8 SDK. Any ideas where to find it?

The problem is that the compiler can't find the header files you've listed, so you haven't added the proper include paths. It has nothing to do with the Direct X version; the errors specifically say they can't open the header files. — Ken White
I have added the set up steps I have done to the question. Any change you could have a look and tell me what I'm missing? Cheers — user346443

Change the paths to the folders to use double quotes properly, as in

"C:\Program Files x86\Microsoft DirectX SDK June 2010\Include;"

Windows is not a web browser; it's an operating system. It doesn't understand URL encoding as far as directory locations go. (I don't have the book, but it's probably a typo there.)
