okay im reading in
juce\_vst3\_wrapper.cp.....
/\* These files come with the Steinberg VST SDK - to get them, you'll need to
visit the Steinberg website and agree to whatever is currently required to
get them. The best version to get is the VST3 SDK, which also contains
the older VST2.4 files.
Then, you'll need to make sure your include path contains your "VST SDK3"
directory (or whatever you've named it on your machine). The introjucer has
a special box for setting this path.
\*/
what path is it? external libraries to link? i put that path of the steinberg vst3 sdk and saved and reopened in visual studio but no dice......

You may have nearly built a VST pluggin - a .dll - You hopefully discovered that you'll need to download the VST SDK (s) - Read the associated text and get. You shouldn't need to change anything (apart from where you've put the VST SDK(s) )
As its name implies, it plugs-in to something - A host! The host is expecting to find it where you tell it to look for plugins
Build the audio plugin host (it, too, will need to know where the VST SDK is, BTW) - and tell it where to find its plugins
_**BTW: It'd be WAY easier if you just copy/pasted the error text onto the forum. 1) we wouldn't have to download big files needlessly, 2) other people will find it if they're searching**_

Not sure what platform you're on, but no matter what - your host has to know where your plugin is, and it would need to scan for it.

By the way, to save time next time, walk backwards from any demo project in the Introjucer to see how they're set up.

Seems I'm out of the loop: I guess Ableton got major 'n' upgrades?
