To do so, start the Visual Studio Installer, under the "More" dropdown, click "Modify" and make sure the following boxes are checked:

atl-mfc-installer

You need to add atl/mfc to your Visual Studio.

Installing ATL/MFC is quite confusing. Here's a config that worked for me:

For some reason, installing just v14.22 ATL & MFC didn't work (I'd get the "Ensure you have installed the ATL/MFC" error). I needed to select "C++ ATL for latest v142 build tools" and "C++ MFC for latest v142 build tools". The installer seemed to download nothing, but now things work.
