Overview
This article outlines how to install Windows Template Library (WTL) version 7.5 into Visual C++, but the instructions are equally valid for any version of the WTL.
How To
To install WTL:
- Create a new folder named 'WTL75' within the same file system permissions scope as the rest of the Windows CE include files. For example, for eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 create:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded C++ 4.0\WTL75
- Extract the contents of WTL75.exe into the folder that you created in step 1
- Open eMbedded Visual C++ or Visual C++ 6.0 / 2005
- Click Tools > Options...
- Scroll along the tabs row until you find the Directories tab and click on it
- Ensure that the 'Show directories for:' drop down is set to "Include files"
- For each platform and then in turn each and every CPU associated with that platform add a new line pointing to the include sub-folder located in the path you created in setp 1 e.g.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded C++ 4.0\WTL75\include
- Repeat for each CPU and supported platform
- Click OK to save changes and then exit Visual C++
