Trouble getting the SDK examples working "invalid filter 25::3"

Hey guys,

so here's the problem; I can't get the SDK examples working. I'm using Win7 and visual studio 2012 to compile the examples. No error messages after compiling but when I try and use the plugin in AE, it says, invalid filter 25::3.

Here's what I've done so far:

2. Install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop.
3. Install the Windows 7.1 SDK.
4. Install Visual C++ Express 2010.
5. Install Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

I've tried compiling in Visual studio 2012 and in 2010, both with the standard compiler and with the WIN 7.1 sdk but I keep getting the "invalid filter 25::3" error message

Any suggestions ?

Thanks !
