Download the C/C++ SDK from the Cisco AppDynamics Downloads Portal that corresponds to the bit number for your operating system (32-bit or 64-bit). The incorrect bit–SDK version compatibility will cause a linker error about missing symbols.
Extract the downloaded SDK zip file to the directory where you want to place the SDK, such as C:\AppDynamics.
Add the SDK lib directory to the system PATH, for example, add C:\AppDynamics\appdynamics-cpp-sdk\lib to %PATH%.
Configure your Visual Studio project to have the include path and link the AppDynamics library in Open Project > Properties.
From the sidebar, unfold C/C++ and choose General. In the new pane, change Additional Include Directories to add: C:\AppDynamics\appdynamics-cpp-sdk\include.
From the sidebar, unfold Linker and choose Input. In the new pane, change Additional Dependencies to add: C:\AppDynamics\appdynamics-cpp-sdk\lib\appdynamics.lib.
