I have installed Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition version 8.0.50727.42.
but I can't find atls.lib or atlsd.lib in my computer.So there is a fatal error when I link my project.

How can I fix it Why there is no ATL support

Thanks in advance.

Because it is Express. There's no MFC either. You'll need the retail version to build your project.

Is there support for ATL and MFC in the Platform SDK Why isn't there support for the libraries in MSVC++ Express Edition The reply "because it is express" doesn't appear, on first reading, to be an appropriate answer. At least from a marketing perspective (i.e. the old bait and switch routine )

Thanks,

ATL/MFC are not included with Visual C++ Express. They're libraries from Visual C++ Standard or higher and are not included in the Platform SDK.
