MFC projects in Visual C++ 2005 ?

I just started up Visual Studio 2005 Express and attempted to create a new MFC project. But that's not an option on the New Project dialog. It shows some CLR project types, which is NOT what I want to do. It shows Win32, allowing only a Windows Console app. And it shows "Other Project Types", but lists no actual project types under it.

So, how do I build an MFC application with VS 2005?

Please don't tell me that Microsoft is simply abondoning MFC applications!!!

The MFC and ATL libraries are not available in the Express Edition of Visual C++. These are available in Visual Studio Standard, Visual Studio Professional and Visual Studio Team Suite editions.

MFC and ATL, along with Visual C++, continue to be important to Microsoft and our customers! Please see our team blogs for more details; you can find links at our Developer Center: http://msdn.microsoft.com/VisualC

April,

I am disappointed in the Help, examples and samples provided with the Express edition. This thread is an case in point. When I use the help index with a filter by "Visual C++ Express Edition", I get hits for ATL and MFC. When I try to follow the instructions, I eventually find out that there is no Express support. There are way too many situations like this. Also, there are way too few examples of complete solutions to non-trival problems (examples) that are in C++ Express.

Gordon.

If I have Visual Studio .NET (not 2003) and downloaded Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition, is it possible to compile MFC programs in 2005 using the libraries from the older version? Or should I just stick with VS .NET if I need to work with MFC?
