Question

I have a feeling that this is a pretty silly and basic question, but I've been struggling with this for a tad too long today. I am attempting to make a shell extension for Windows following this guide (as well as several others that I have stumbled upon, but that one is the most notable). The issue is that they all start off saying "Run the AppWizard and make a new ATL COM program." However, these are the only project wizards I have in my Visual C++ 2010 Express.

Visual C++ 2010 Express Project Wizards

Where can I find this magic project template? Even Microsoft seems to think I should already have it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

AFAIK frameworks MFC, ATL possibly others are not part of the Express edition, to have them you need one of the non-free versions. but there are some interesting links
