I wrote a plugin for Indeisign CS4 with Visual Studio 2008. I then ported the code successfully to Inesign CS3.

Everything is working. Yes, it is possible to develop Indesign CS3 and CS4 Plugins with visual studio 2008 whitout any problem!

But then i ported the code to CS5. The code for CS is compiling successfully but when i start Indesign it alerts "adobe indesign does not recognize the xy.pln as valid plug-in. Please reinstall xy.pln."

The same happens whit CS5 SDK samples i compile and copy to the plugin folder or link over the reference folder in users windows profile.

This may be an IDE setting...

Any suggestions?

On Windows new to CS5 you have to copy resources folder besides the plug-in to enable multi-threaded access to resource files

Could find the folder but not where to copy it to.

Also resource folder is created for sample project but not for my own (ported) project.

Where do i have to copy the resource folder and what do i have to change to get the resource folder created for my ported project?

Very hard to track.

Rather use dolly from CS5 sdk to create new plug-in with your info and add files
