Issue with SolidWork COM Addin in Visual C++

Baru managed to remove one obstacle hindering my FYP progress: interfacing between C and SolidWorks. I'm already 1 month behind schedule.. Since I got the solution from a forum, so for your benefit, hope the details that follow would be useful someday.

Setup	Ms Visual Studio.NET 2002. API SDK for SolidWorks 2005
Issue	Unsuccessful starting of a new project with the wizard "SolidWorks COM Addin" under Visual C++. Error message below appeared. "Object with program ID VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.7.1 cannot be created"
Solution	Open SwCOMAddinWizard.vsz using a text editor such as notepad under (by default) "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\vcprojects". Remove ".7.1" and save. Start Visual Studio IDE again. You should now be able to start the wizard normally.

I still need help on how to interface both of these programs correctly. Somebody please advice.
