Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you build your designer plugin using the same compiler that was use for Qt Creator ?

Also, please search a bit through the forum. This question has already been asked several times.

Hi, thanks for your answer,
I've been spending hours and hours reading and testing, you were right, initially i compiled my widget with a different compiler.

I tried to do all the steps a different PC and it worked! that machine was using W7 32 Bits, but i still can't make it work in my computer wich is W8 64 Bits the Plugin Information now just say: "Cannot load library: C:/...". what could it be the issue?

Also, are you building your plugin in 64 bit ? IIRC, Qt Creator is provided in 32
