In Visual Studio 2017 and later, MFC and ATL are optional sub-components under the **Desktop development with C++** workload in the Visual Studio Installer program. You can install ATL support without MFC, or combined MFC and ATL support (MFC depends on ATL). For more information about workloads and components, see [Install Visual Studio 2017](/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio).
