    Hi,
    I just install "qt-opensource-windows-x86-5.9.0" on Windows 10 x64. I build successfully a plugin "led-designer-plugin", i put "led-designer-plugin.dll" in "C:\Qt\Qt5.9.0\Tools\QtCreator\bin\plugins\designer". Then i open a GUI project in QtCreator 4.3. But I got this message in Plugin Information window:

    "Cannot load library C:\Qt\Qt5.9.0\Tools\QtCreator\bin\plugins\designer\led-designer-plugin.dll: %1 is not a valid Win32 application"
    Can you tell me what i was wrong to set the enviroment for QtCreator ?

    Thank you in advance,

      @nhatquang Hi
      my first guess is, you did not build the plugin with the same compiler as your QtCreator was build in.

      But I don't have much experience with plugins maybe someone else can help you more.

        @nhatquang ,

        Have you provided the dll path in .pro file?

        win32: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../bin/ -ledDesigner
        DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../bin/

          @nhatquang To add to @J-Hilk : the Qt and compiler version must be exactly the same and you have to build your plug-in in release mode.

              Hi
              For plugins to be be loadable for Creator, it must be compiled with visual studio compiler.
              (on the windows platform. On linux is gcc)
              Mingw compiler won't work. ( on windows )

              Look in Help->About Creator
              alt text

              So to make plugins for this creator, you must be using vs 2015 32 bit to compile plugin
              and it should be in release mode.

                  Thank you, but I'm using VS2017 without QT addin support. It mean, i can't build plugin?

                    Hi. No there is 1 (one) exception. Vs 2017 should be compatible with VS2015
                    as far as i understand.
                    Should be 32 bit though.
                    Remember to check your Creator just to be sure.

                      But QtCreator 4.3 built based on Qt 5.8, not 5.9. How can i solve?

                        That should work anyway. Might not be correct.
                        Its the visual studio version that is important.
                        But vs2015 works as vs2017. ( for the first time ever)

                        update:
                        Seems i was too optimistic

                        Better to use 5.8 then for compiling the plugin.

                          @nhatquang Install Qt 5.8 and use it for your plug-in. You can keep Qt 5.9 ass QtCreator can handle many Qt versions.

                            So the 5.8 -> 5.9 will be too much version span for plugin to load ?

                              @mrjj I guess so. 5.8.0 -> 5.8.1 should be OK, but 5.8 -> 5.9 probably not.
