I have tried generating several plugins using the generator, compiling a hello world example from the github page, and compiling the examples included in the sdk. the common issue I got was something about LoadLibraryW failing for the path of my specified plugin. validator.exe works for the vst3 files in the plugin folder, but not for the folder itself. plugin test host cant find the plugins. my DAW finds the plugins but cant load them. All the plugins are in the correct destinations. I dont know whats going on here.
i solved it. to solve the problem with loadlibraryw command not finding a module when you generate a plugin with the vst3sdk plugin project generator, you must make libexpat.dll findable via the PATH environment variable.
