How to get MFC?

[jeffm712]

I'm using VS 2013 Pro and I want to try using MFC, but files such as afxwin.h (where CWnd is supposed to be declared) don't exist on my machine. Is MFC not bundled with VS? I tried googling for "download mfc library", and the first result *sounded* promising -- Download Multibyte MFC Library -- but it turns out that's the wrong thing. So now I'm stuck at this very first step. How the heck do I get MFC?

I recently installed VS 2015 Community and with a custom install I was able to get access to MFC.

I would suggest downloading the ISO.

https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/visual-studio-2015-downloads-vs#

Scroll down the page to the VS 2015 downloads, select it and you get a drop down menu to select which VS versions to download. Select Community and you are then given an option for web install or ISO.

MFC is included by default with Visual Studio, except Express Edition. This means you have to pay for it (or use some ather means, the trial verion is fully functional as well)
