Building my 1st plug-in with Visual Studio 2017

Gary Hess

I am trying to create my 1st plug-in with the SDL SDK and am following this tutorial: http://producthelp.sdl.com/SDK/BatchTaskApi/1.0/html/11246e1a-8551-4af9-bde5-ce51b26179db.htm

I am able to build a release ("0 failed" in VS17), but there is no "*.sdlplugin" file to be found anywhere on the computer. The "C:\Users\garchik2\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14\Plugins\Packages" directory is empty. When I start up SDL Trados Studio 2017, there is no warning about unsigned plug-ins and I don't see my plug-in.

My question: Where in the project configuration (in VS17) is the target directory for the plug-in defined? I assume it is probably set incorrectly and I want to try to change it.

One possible problem I see: Under the directory "C:\Users\garchik2\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio", there are TWO directories:

- "C:\Users\garchik2\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14"

- "C:\Users\garchik2\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0"

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gary Hess

    Thanks for the tip. I was able to do something like this (although the path for the installed project templates are different) and find the templates manually and add them to the right folder. The problem is that the project template adds references to the project that refer to SDL dll-s that cannot be found on my machine. I guess I'll have to add them manually as I write my project (which is kind of a bummer...)
