Visual C++ 2005 Express and Platform SDK testing problem

Hi,

Sorry, I've posted this in another forum here and have gotten no responses as of yet.

Anyway, I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express and was looking at the Start Page and clicked on "Download the PSDK". I did so and followed all the instructions except I had trouble with Step #5. I couldn't find lines 441 - 444 described and when building the Application the 2 mentioned check boxes for Windows Application and ATL are greyed out (not available). How do I go about getting these areas available in the Application Wizzard to be selected? Maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks in advance for your help.

lines 441 to 444 are these lines:

WIN_APP.disabled = true;
WIN_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;
DLL_APP.disabled = true;
DLL_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;

just open up the AppSettings.htm file in notepad just search for the text "WIN_APP_LABEL.disabled" using the Find feature of notepad, and you'll find this block of 4 lines.

ATL is not officially supported by Visual C++ 2005 Express (nor is MFC), especially not the wizards.  Unoffically, ATL can be supported by using the one that comes with the Platform SDK (see:http://www.codeproject.com/wtl/WTLExpress.asp - this is for WTL but step 1 to 4 apply to ATL as well)

 

Ted.

Hi Again,

Your suggestion was followed and it worked. I found the lines described and commented them out. When I originally looked I used notepad and also used the find command but must have mistyped something. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your help. Have a good day!
