Unable to deploy custom VC++ Wizard

Question

I've developed a custom VC++ Wizard. This has been done using
VS 2013 Ultimate. However, I am not able to deploy it.
I've copied the 3 files, <wizard_name>.ico, <wizard_name>.vsz and <wizard_name>.vsdirto
<Visual_Studio_Installation>\VC\VCProjects. I've edited the
.vsz file to specify the necessary relative path to VCWizards.
I've kept the rest of the folders, viz., 1033, HTML,
IMAGES, SCRIPTS and TEMPLATES, in the
VCWizards\AppWiz\<wizard_name>directory.
The wizard shows up in the VC++ projects list, and the
HTML page shows up too, but when I click on finish, nothing loads and I see the same New Project screen again.
The wizard works normally, when I had developed it.
What could be the reason?

Hi tigrisofgod,
This documentation is for VS2005, I'm not sure if this works for VS2013, you can try it:

Deployment
Deploying   your wizards to customer machines is usually no more complicated than copying   the right set of files to the right locations. You
will need your .vsdir and   .vsz files, along with the icon for the wizard, put in the right product   folder. You will also have to copy all the HTML, JScript, template, and other   files that make up your wizard to the target machine. You
can figure out the   right location for the .vsdir, .vsz, and icon files by looking at the   registry key values mentioned in
table 2. If you use the RELATIVE_PATH parameter   to locate your wizard files, then these registry values can help you   determine the target location for the wizard files. On the other hand, the   ABSOLUTE_PATH
parameter works consistently on all machines. However, if you   cannot put the wizard files at the exact same location on all machines, you   may have to re-write your .vsz file during deployment.
