Photoshop SDK sample plug-ins fail to load into 64 bit Photoshop CC 2017

[haraldr60781569]

Hello,

I have compiled the Listener sample from adobe_photoshop_sdk_cc_2017_win.zip, but Photoshop doesn't accept it.

The SDK solution comes with a win32 Debug target only - added a Release, the same. Then searched in Internet incl. into the Photoshop forums and found, that it has to be 64 bit - made it 64 bit, plus added _WIN64 to the preprocessor definitions - still the same.

Photoshop shows a warning at start: "One or more plug-ins are currently not available on your system". Looking at Help -> System Info, the problematic plug-in is listed there:

Plug-ins that failed to load:

   Listener NO VERSION -  - from the file “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Plug-Ins\Listener.8li”

Please give me a hint how to adjust the project, so the plugin would be valid for the 64 bit Photoshop. A simple project template is welcome too.

Greetings,

Plamen

Hi

I'll move your post to this section

What Visual Studio are you using? I see Debug x64 and Debug Win32.

Oops, my mistake!

I have missed the Debug/x64 configuration - firstly prepared a Release/win32, then from it - a x64. Obviously I have missed a compiler switch or option, required for the plugin!

I've just build the Listener's Debug/x64, and it was accepted by Photoshop. Then created a release configuration from the Debug/x64 and compiled it, it was OK for Photoshop too.

It's maybe better if my post would be removed to not confuse other developers.
