Hello Guys. I am new here and also to audio development in general and iPlug2 framework. I carefully tried to do everything like this manual is telling to do. But i get some errors when i am trying to build a demo Instrument Effect.  
I’ve installed packages download-prebuilt-libs.sh with a bash here command with a git  
installed this packages download-vst3-sdk.sh,download-iplug-sdks.sh,download-clap-sdks.sh

I guess you need the ASIO SDK, no?

i don’t think so, there is not information about such ASIO SDK and i can’t find that this kind of sdk is existed.

It really looks like visual studio is not set up correctly, since it can’t find lots of important files from the windows Sdk. I would try reinstalling. You need to make sure you have checked the box for C++ desktop development

All right, thank you. Reinstallation solves the most of errors. Now i am getting this MSB3073 error with File Microsoft.CppCommon.targets and also C26495 Warnings  
when im trying to build Vst3 version

here is the video how it looks

The script that copys the VST3 to the VST3 folder is failing, presumably because there are no write permissions to that folder.

There should be some instructions here:
