Feature Only in Professional and Enterprise Editions   Creating a Custom AppWizard is supported only in Visual C++ Professional and Enterprise Editions. For more information, see .

You add functionality to a custom AppWizard in the same manner that you add functionality to any other MFC AppWizard project. That is, you use the resource editors to edit your project’s resources and use the WizardBar, ClassWizard, and the text editor to edit your code.

The only difference between adding functionality to a standard MFC AppWizard project and to a custom AppWizard project is dealing with custom resource templates. After examining your project’s structure, you’ll note that it contains a TEMPLATE directory. The files in this directory contain custom resource templates. MFCAPWZ.DLL and your finished custom AppWizard will use these to create the custom AppWizard user’s application.
