Cant Find the Template to Create a Visual C++ Windows Service in VS 2015

Question

My Visual Studio 2015 don't have template for Windows Service in Visual C++. Workaround is to create ATL project with service type, but it doesn't make sense to have templates for VB and VC# and not for VisualC++.

Answer 1

There is no such template for VC++ services.

Simple templates, samples and frameworks can be found on Codeproject and other public locations:
