Hello All,
I’m a newbie to VST development. I downloaded the latest VST SDK and installed the VST3PluginTestHost app. When I tried to execute it I got the following stack dump:

I assume that the installation pkg script checks for processor type since it didn’t prompt me for cpu type.
Can someone help me out please.
Thank You,
Tony
