Postcompilation error in audio plugin

Audio Plugins
1

I am developing an audio plugin that connects with a physical device via websocket. For this, I am using the Simple WebSocket Server external library. Now the thing is, when I started using it, the following compilation error appeared when trying to debug the VST3 project (it’s in spanish):

To keep moving and not get stuck, I am compiling and debugging the standalone plugin, but when the time comes I will need to make the vst3 work, so if someone has an idea of how can I solve this, I will be very grateful to read you :grin:

This looks like a copy issue.

Try either removing the existing VST3 if it exists, updating the permissions of your VST3 folder, or running your IDE / compiler as administrator.

I tried those three, even cleaning and rebuilding the solution, and the error persists :slightly_frowning_face:

I can correctly execute those commands in terminal, but I cannot load the .vst3 correctly in a DAW.
