Which DAW? We are not aware of any host that cannot load packaged VST3 plug-ins (if the host supports VST3 in general).
I'm currently using FL Studio 20, however the audio host sample failed to load the vst bundle as well.
This is what it looks like when I open the plugin (when I build non-bundled).
As the bundle format is the default one, you should try to get that working. How are you trying to start the audio-host sample? What about the validator? And can you load your plug-in with the editor host example?
The validator is successful. The editor host does load the bundle successfully. This could be a problem with FL Studio, then.
Maybe an installation issue or path issue. Where's your plug-in located? Do you have a correct link to the common VST3 location?
I believe I have found the issue. Symlinks do not work when the plugin is built as a bundle. I copied the bundle directly to the VST3 folder and it works as expected.
My solution is replacing COMMAND mklink
with COMMAND mklink /D
on line 103 of cmake/modules/SMTG_AddSMTGLibrary.cmake
Glad you fixed it. I will notify our Windows guru to check your solution.
This might also affect Linux, it would be worth checking
Hello,
When I create a vst3sdk project on windows with default options and vstgui, I get a blank black screen on opening the plugin. After some investigation, I found that it was caused by a failure to load the uidescription file. I noticed that the uidescription file is not embedded into the vst unless "Create bundle for windows" is checked. However, if I use the windows bundle option the plugin is not detected by the DAW. Any suggestions?
