How to Install New wxWidgets Project Wizard in Code::Blocks?

I have been posting the Modified wxWidgets Project wizard for the past couple of weeks. But there seems to be one missing point. How to install them? The installation details are already in the forum. Still I'm posting them for your convenience so that you do not need to scroll through the entire thread. The follwing procedure is applicable for Windows only.

First, download a Nightly Build of Code::Blocks from the following forum. Read the latest post and download the latest Nightly using the link provided in that post.

Now download two more files from the following link.

wxWidgets Runtime DLL

MinGW Runtime

Now extract all the files to a folder, e.g. C:\CodeBlocks

Run the codeblocks.exe to launch Code::Blocks IDE.

To Install the Modified wxWidgets Project Wizard, please follow the following steps. Download the latest revision of project wizard from the following post.

wxWidgets Project Wizard - Revision 7

You'll find that the zip file contains a folder named wxwidgets which contains some file. Now extract the folder to following location {Code::Blocks Dir}\share\CodeBlocks\templates\wizard folder and overwrite the existing wxwidgets folder and files inside that. If you wish you may keep a backup of existing folder.

That's it. You have now successfully installed new wizard.

Please remember that it is a Development Release and there might be bugs.
