inDesign cs5 not recognizing plug-ins

[Guest]

Dear Sir,

We executed the "basicmenu" sample project file that is avaliable in 'indesign CS5 SDK' and placed the "BASICMENU.SDK.PLN" pulg-in in the indesign cs5 plugins folder. But we encountered a problem while launching indesign cs5. Screenshot of the error enclosed. Please advise

Are you testing with a debug version of InDesign or a release version? (Unfortunately the alert covers the build info so I can't tell from the image supplied)

A debug version of the plug-in will only work with a debug version of InDesign and the same for the release version.

Secondly, CS5 and CS5.5 plug-ins are incompatible. If you are using the latest SDK then you are creating plug-ins for CS5.5.

You must have to install by  adobe extention manager 5.

Hi, I have already install adobe extention manager 5, but when I test with the debug version of the plug-in the "basicmenu" sample project file that is avaliable in 'indesign CS5 SDK',

I still get the same error as others, it alerts "adobe indesign does not recognize the basicmenu.sdk.pln as valid plug-in. Please reinstall basicmenu.sdk.pln."

Please guide how to proceed.

You need to place basicmenu.sdk.pln and (basicmenu Resources) folder in Plug-ins folder. Resources folder is made with .pln file.

Hi,

I have tried to run another sample, the "WriteFishPrice" which is in the sample SDK as well. I have put the WFP.sdk.pln , (WFP.sdk Resources) and WFP.pdb in the Plug-ins folder

But while launching the Indesign application, I still get the same error. Please find the screenshot below.

I would be very grateful if you could help me out.

Here's what I have in my resource folder:

I have tried to build the WFP sample.

It works fine on InDesign CS5 Win.

I don't know why your plugin doesn't work.

[Guest]

Can you please check you contents in "PlugInConfig.txt" which is found in this location

C:\Documents and Settings\(ur username)\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 7.0\en_GB\PlugInConfig.txt

Or if you could send me a zip version of your WFP plugin and resource file. I'll replace it with mine and see if the same error persist.

Thx
