Installation error mySQL with visual c++ 2010

Installation error mySQL with visual c++ 2010

So I've just installed mySQL (5.6) to use with visual c++ 2010 and i've
encountered an error.
I'm using the tutorial located here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/connector-cpp-apps-windows-visual-studio.html
At the part where it states to include the directory c:/Program
Files/mySQL/lib/opt I found that my installation doesn't have this
directory. The only lib folder that contains an opt folder in my mySQL
installation is the folder under C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector C++
1.1.3\lib\opt
Should I be linking this file to the additional directoried, or have I
done something wrong?
I ask that you don't refer me to some tutorial and instead provide a
step-by-step explanation. I have been looking at quite a few tutorials but
they all seem to be using older version of both mySQL and VC++.
Thank you for your time.
