(Windows) InDesign CS3 and CS4 plugins

Hello everyone:

   I have a number of plugins that must be maintained for IDCS3 and IDCS4--we still have customers that send in work for those versions.  Their projects compile and the results test out just fine in Windows XP, but if I port the projects over to Win7 the plugins don't even show up under the Plugins dropdown.

   In the past that has usually meant a resource issue.  I've checked the resources and they seem fine. 

   In the past I could ignore the problem and continue to maintain them on XP, but with the official demise of that stalwart OS coming screaming toward us, that is no longer an option.  I need to resolve this matter.  Does anyone have any thoughts on why CS3/4 Win plugins will not correctly compile on Win7 computers--or what the real problem may be (including a PEBKAC    )?

It seems that some of the dll's or libraries are missing on your windows 7 machine. I would suggest you to check for dependencies that the plugin has, and see if they are missing. I would suggest using a tool like dependency walker.

Thanks,
