Could not open include file

I'm have a visual studio 2010 c++ solution, and there is an include that fails on compile (Fatal error, could not open include file).

My problem is: The path is specified in C/C++ Addition Include Directories, and I've run out of ideas... I know it's probably a simple thing but any hints at all would be great !

Also, does the fact that my project is on the desktop could cause a problem ?

Thanks

EDIT:

The header file is here C:\users\test\Desktop\testProject\mainLib\lib\common.h I include this in the additionnal directories : "C:\users\test\Desktop\testProject\

and my include looks like this : 

#include <mainLib\lib\common.h>

common.h is a header that I've created

Numerous possibilities.

If you have

c:\demo\include\sub\this.hpp

You should have

#include <sub/this.hpp> // with "c:\demo\include" in additional includes

If you have

c:\demo2\test.cpp
c:\demo2\test.hpp

you should have, in test.cpp

#include "test.hpp" // NOT <test.hpp>

Hope this gets you started.
