Building my 1st plug-in with Visual Studio 2017

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
