Hi Jean,

In my experience Will needs to make a ton of changes to maintain compatibility on each new update. I'm not entirely surprised this wouldn't work/be stressing to attempt.

Even just renaming that folder likely broke the CMake script several ways.

If you are interested in or already made progress towards 3.7.3 migration though + would like to help, then check out Will's Github page as this framework is intended to be open to contributors.

Otherwise I'm sure an update will be forthcoming from Will and best use 3.7.2 for now.

Hi All

I have tested VST3 SDK 3.7.3 with ASPiK and found no issues (that is usually not the case). This includes the newer VSTGUI4.10.1 update. It is only very rarely that this happens, as the Steinberg engineers usually make massive changes that also break their own Sample plugin projects from previous SDKs. When they do that, I have to go back in and try to figure out what they've done, which is made more complicated because they do not publish release notes for plugin framework developers (ASPiK, JUCE, iPlug2, etc...) - we are all in the same boat. 

All of this (VST3 SDK 3.7.3) worked with ASPiK and the ASPiKreator. It also worked with my older plugin projects that I migrated from VST3 SDK 3.7.2. 

However, due to a low level change that was added in VSTGUI4.10 regarding initializing and de-initializing the library, this does not work with very old ASPiK projects without updating the PluginKernel files. 

So, you should be good to go with 3.7.3.

Note that there is still an issue with Reaper recognizing the plugin bundle folders, which also exists for the VST3 SDK sample as well. 

Will
