Visual Studio 2008 SP1 -- MFC Feature Pack

Question

I am trying to find the sample code which illustrates the new MFC functionality in Visual Studio 2008 SP1.  None of the referred to examples in the documentation are present after installing the samples from the installation.  All of the links refer to this sample page on the web: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/bb330936.aspx. I downloaded these samples and the new MFC samples are also missing from this installation.

Does anyone know where these samples are hidden?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

See this page on the MSDN, which will lead you to this page.

On my mahcine they're found at 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Samples\1033\' inside the zip AllVCLanguageSamples.zip.

Thanks Neil, but I already did that.  The SP1 does not have the samples for the new MFC Classes and the link to the latest samples I placed in my original post also does not have them...that is the problem.

Since my first message, I was able to locate the download for VC2008FeaturePack.exe which came out before SP1, and it does have the samples in it:

Unfortunately, you cannot run the installation on a machine with SP1 installed.  I had to create a virtual machine, install the first version of 2008, and then install the feature pack to get to the samples zip file...about 4 hours of work.  The ZIP file with the samples is only a couple of megabytes and would have only taken 10 seconds to download.

My associate at work called MSDN tech support and burned an incident to have them locate the samples for us, but they said they could not find them.

Thanks again for your response.

Must admit that I had the feature pack installed rather than SP1.

For anyone who has the same problem:

Found this MS bug report which states:

The Visual C++ team has triaged the issue you reported. The issue has been resolved during triage with the following message:

We made the samples available as a download (see below) rather than including them in SP1. You will find them here:
