The latest WTL from sourceforge is version WTL81_9127 from May 07 2009. You don’t need to modify the install anymore. Anyway, thanks for the article!

For VS 2008, Apart from modifying registry entries and executing the install script – Modify

\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcprojects\WTLAppWiz.vsz

for the following

Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.9.0

Restart VS 2008, and Wizard works.

During deploiment of WTL80 I ran into a few problems.

VS2008 SP1 – inittially I replaced in AppWiz\setup80.js only REGISTRY related “8.0″ with “9.0″.
Wrong! The wizard was not writing anything after pressing the “Finish” button.
Replace ALL “8.0″ with “9.0″ and all will be kosher!

VC2009x – – inittially I replaced in AppWiz\setup80x.js only REGISTRY related “8.0″ with “9.0″.
Wrong! The WTL wizard is on the list but pressing OK in the “New Project” dialog just closes the dialog and dosen’t open “ATL/WTL application wizard”.
Replace ALL “8.0″ with “9.0″ and all will be kosher!

And then the “default” (i.e. with no changes) project does not build,because it is missing WTL dependancies.
I have WTL installed in C:\WTL80. Modify Project Properties:
1. In “C++/General/Adittional Include Directories” enter C:\WTL80\include
2. In “Resources/General/Adittional Include Directories” ADD C:\WTL80\include

To link I also had _ATL_DLL to “C++/Preprocessor/Preprocessor Definitions”

Now enjoy!

I replaced VisualStudio with VCExpress in the script and it works!

Thanks!

I also received the same error as Peter.
Is there an update on this script?
Thanks

It looks like there is no ATL with the included libraries/PSDK that comes with VC8 Express. You may have to grab a previous version ATL from an old PSDK, to get WTL working.

Kind of a pain considering ATL was once available with the PSDK….
It seems like MSFT hinted at including latest version of ATL in future releases…. but still nothing.
