      User Information:
      Cinema 4D Version:   R14 
      Platform:   Windows  ;   
      Language(s) :     C++  ;

      ---------
      I like to go from python to c++, so I looked at some videos starting with
      " Beginners guide to C4D and C++. Part One".

      I build the whole sdk kit and I get the following (success) message, but I do not see the plugins in cinema 4d? And I see a .cdl is created and not a dll?

      I use cinema 4d R14 and Visual Studio C++ Express 2010

      ....
