SYMPTOMS
========
When you access the Active Template Library (ATL) Object Wizard dialog box from
the menu option Insert/New ATL Object, the dialog box comes up empty with no
wizards available.
CAUSE
=====
When Visual C++ is installed, all ATL Object Wizards are registered in the
registry under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ATLWizard." Settings under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER are not visible if you login under a different user. If you
install Visual C++ under one user and login as another, you will not see any
available Wizards in the ATL Object Wizard dialog box.
RESOLUTION
==========
Other user logins that need to use Visual C++ on the same computer need to have
the same registry settings under
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ATLWizard". Here are the steps to do
this:
1. Login under the account that installed Visual C++.
2. Run REGEDIT.
3. Select "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ATLWizard."
4. Export this entry to a file by picking Registry/Export Registry File from the
menu.
5. Login as the other user who will use Visual C++.
6. Double-click the .REG file to merge it with the registry.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 6.0
for Windows.
