  on your computer:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Template

2. For Visual C++ 5.0, place the .awx and the .hlp file in the following folder
  on your computer:

  C:\Program Files\DevStudio\SharedIDE\Template

3. Open Visual C++ and create a new project. Migration DLL AppWizard should now
  be listed as a project type.

Note that the Migration DLL project that this wizard creates cannot be built
without the latest Windows 2000 header and library files. Install the latest
Platform SDK and its build environment to obtain these files. When prompted,
agree to integrate the Platform SDK with Visual C++. The Platform SDK can be
downloaded from the following Web site:
