Where is the add-in wizard?

[martho]

Hello! I want to start writing an add-in for Visual C++ .net Version 7.1.

I found this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vxconcreatingaddin.asp

which tells me to use the "add-in wizard" to start. But I could not find this wizard!

They say: "Create a new Visual Studio Add-In project.
You can find this project type in the Extensibility Projects folder under Other Projects." But I don't have any "Extensibility Projects folder" in File -> New -> Project. Where can I find it?

Thanks in advance!

Which version of Visual Studio do you have?

[martho]

Thanks for your reply. It's called "Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Version 7.1.3088"

I bought it as "Visual C++ .NET 2003 Standard".

If the wizard is not included: Is there a site where I can download it for free?

By the way: The add-in should be for Visual C++ 2003 (7.0), but I still got my Visual C++ 6.0 which has got an add-in wizard. But I assume I cant use add-ins created with this 6.0-wizard in 2003?

After serving a lot of sites - german sites though - describing the difference between the products, Standard, Professional, Architect etc. I found out that plugin development is only available for Professional and above. I haven't found the SDK to develop Plugins though....

Never tried it... But I don't think that will work. And well... A cannot find any download to enhance the Standard edition with plugin development features.

Thanx again for your help! Perhaps I will try to write an add-in without wizard, perhaps I have to upgrade.
