Building ATL projects

I'm trying to build an ATL based project on a build server. For that I have installed latest Windows SDK, however getting an error:

"Cannot open include file: 'atlbase.h': No such file or directory".

I have checked and to my surprise SDK does not contain ATL anymore. I cannot neither refactor ATL out on this stage nor install a VS on the build server. What would be an extra set up to build ATL?

I had the same problem lately. If you're using an Express edition of Microsoft Visual Studio, you can't use ATL. I know it sounds illogical, but I guess there's no way of doing that. Some MSDN guy told me that in the license file of Microsoft Visual Studio Express Editions, there's a line about that. ATL is not free, so you have to buy it, or use Pro editions of Microsoft Visual Studio.

In Microsoft Driver Dev Kit, there's ATL classes, but they give weird linking errors. So, I guess you have to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional, or 2010 Professional.

I can help you more if there are more errors/problems about setting up ATL I guess.

Take care.

ATL / MFC is installed by VS so, if you can't install VS, perhaps you could install it somewhere then take the headers, libs and DLLs and install them manually on your build server. Bit messy but it should work.
