Hello,

I've installed MFC extension for VS 2019 version 16.7 on Windows x64 operating system as follows:

But when I open a new MFC project, before I start editing it, there are many undefined identifiers and two errors of "cannot open source" type of "afxwinappex.h"
and "afxdialogex.h" headers. I guess I'm missing something important, but I don't know what else to download from VS installer. I'd appreciate it if you could list all the extensions need or refer me to a page where they're mentioned.

Thank you very much.
