I recently purchased World Machine Pro and now I have tried to get the plugin PDK to work, but so far I keep running my head into a wall…
-
The VC2005 Express edition doesn’t seem to be available from Microsoft anymore. The old link(s) redirect to the 2008 Express versions.
-
Using the softpedia.org link I got the 2005 express downloaded and installed. However when trying to build I get an error that “windows.h” could not be found. I assume this is a very basic error with my installation, however I tried several times and on 2 different machines (64bit Vista with VS2008 already installed, 32bit XP with no pre-existing microsoft compiler installed).
-
I borrowed a copy of VS2005 Professional and tried building the PDK project. Building the debug version gave a number of linker errrors (included below), but the release version built without errors. However copying the resulting dll to the plugin/devices directory resulted in the “incorrect version” error. Same result with both VM Pro 2.1 and VM Basic 2.1. I don’t have the 2.0 versions, so I couldn’t check with them (is it still possible to download them somewhere?). I tried installing the VS2005 Pro on my other machine as well just to be absolutely sure, but got the same results there (debug version gave linker errors, release gave the “incorrect version” error when trying to load it in VM).
-
Just for good measure I also tried building with VS2008. The resulting dll also gave the “incorrect version” dll.
Would appreciate suggestions on how to get it to work.

PS: The PDK plugin dll only seems to be loaded when using the 32 bit version. Can the PDK be compiled to support 64bit as well?
Build log included (when building “debug” - not directly related to my problem, but might give some hints to what is wrong?):
