Hi group.

I used to do some programming in MFC 4.2 and VC++ 6.0 approx. 10 years
ago. Now I have been using Visual Studio 2010 Express (mostly for simple
toy-programs) and would like to upgrade this IDE to something that includes the
latest MFC (v10?). So what are my options? Spend $499 (?) on a VS Professional
edition which includes MFC and a complete dialogue editor?
Is there no way to add MFC 10 to VS Express?

Thanks for any answers.

No guarantees (I have not tried this), but here is something you could look at to add MFC to your express version...

By the way, the latest version is now Visual Studio 2012. If you decide to buy you'll probably want to buy that one, not the 2010 one.

Thanks man. I'm trying that hack now. But the WDK (Windows Driver Kit)
KitSetup.exe mentioned in the article started to rollback the install here.
Some package I'm missing here. I'll try to abort the install process and
find the need MFC headers/libs manually.
