Visual Studio 2022 Fails to Create ARX/DBX Project for AutoCAD 2024

I have installed Visual Studio 2022 and set up the ObjectARX 2024 SDK by downloading and installing it, then placing its contents in the directory C:\ObjectARX. Additionally, I have downloaded the ObjectARX Wizard 2024 setup file and stored it in the same directory, C:\ObjectARX, for further configuration.

To ensure a smooth installation process, I set the User Account Control (UAC) setting to "Never notify". Then, I executed the ObjectARX Wizard 2024 setup file from the C:\ObjectARX directory. Upon successful installation, I launched Visual Studio 2022 and verified that the ObjectARX Wizard installation was successful, as indicated by the appearance of two new templates in the Visual Studio template window.

I selected the "ARX/DBX Project For AutoCAD 2024" template from the available options in Visual Studio 2022 and clicked "Next" to proceed. This allowed me to specify the project name and location, which I configured according to my requirements, setting the foundation for my new AutoCAD 2024 project.

After clicking the "Create" button, I am encountering an unexpected issue where no project is generated and no error message or dialogue is displayed. To resolve this problem, what steps should I take to troubleshoot and successfully create a new project?

Hi @furqananees2007 

Can you go to %VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\IDE\VC\vcprojects\Autodesk
Open `ArxAppWiz2024.vsz` file
Check the path for `ABSOLUTE_PATH ` is pointing to correct directory ?

For 2024 you must install the 2019 MFC

I also encountered a similar problem, and the `ABSOLUTE_PATH ` is fine. Is there any other solution?

Have you installed all the workloads necessary for AutoCAD API development - C++, ATL, MFC, etc?
If this does not work, uninstall, and reinstall the MSI in an elevated command prompt and share the log with me.

msiexec /i <wizard.msi> /L*v install.log

I'm also attaching a minimal .vsconfig file (remove the extension .txt).
