Need Help for USB plugin for Mach3

Hi
I need help to start with mach3. I want to create USB plugin for mach3. I have downloaded the SDK and build the code with Visual Studio 2010. But i got the following error.

Code:

---

1>c:\cnc\mach3development\sdk.2.62\machincludes\mach4view.h(18): error C3500: invalid ProgID 'ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash'
1>c:\cnc\mach3development\sdk.2.62\machincludes\mach4view.h(18): fatal error C1103: fatal error importing progid: 'ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash'
1>  MachDevice.cpp
1>c:\cnc\mach3development\sdk.2.62\machincludes\mach4view.h(18): error C3500: invalid ProgID 'ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash'
1>c:\cnc\mach3development\sdk.2.62\machincludes\mach4view.h(18): fatal error C1103: fatal error importing progid: 'ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash'

---

error is pointing in Mach4view.h and line is following.

Code:

---

#import  "PROGID:ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash" no_namespace raw_interfaces_only

---

So how to clear this error.
I am compiling Blank pluigin from SDK.

Here i ahve attached Mach4view.h file.

There aren't many people familiar with writing Mach3 plugins.
I believe that you need to use VS2003, so that may be part of the problem.

yes may be.
what is prerequisites for this?
i have extract SDK.2.62 in C drive. And browse the code in Visual studio. is there anything we need to install?

Hi,
I searched for Visual studio 2003, it is very difficult to get it now.
and also i think it is not matter of visual studio versions.
I think there may be mismatch i did or something else.
Pleas help to get out of this.

As I said, there are very few people with experience writing Mach3 plugins.

Geez, I'm sure I have VS2003 (or at least still have the media).
I also have VS2005 & VS2008 which I still use.
Nowadays you need to download DDK

Now to hunt up this Mach3 "Plugin SDK"!

Hi,
why? All development on Mach3 ceased six-seven years ago. Whatever bugs and shortcomings it has it will be tuck with.

If you are going to go to all the trouble of writing a plugin then write it for Mach4. Firstly you'll be able to use a much later version of VS and
you'll get assistance from NFS provided you sign a Non Disclosure Agreement..
