Finding atlrx.h after upgrading to Visual Studio 2008

After upgrading from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008, one of my projects would not build, giving an error about missing the header file “atlrx.h”. This file has been moved to codeplex.com and resides in the AtlServer project. After extracting the code, I copied atlrx.h to the <installed>\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 \VC\atlmfc\include\ directory and built as normal.

    atlrx.h does not appear to be in the ATLServer project any longer.

    I found the latest from 2007 at CodePlex.com It’s in the include directory inside the ZIP file.
