Trouble selecting my freshly built plugin

[jackghetti]

I've been trying to build the example plugin shipped with VMS using Visual C++ .NET, Version 7.0. I installed and configured in accordance with the doco. The project compiles fine, apart from a few minor warnings. The linking step says:

...

---------------------- Done ----------------------

Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped

The file vis_explugin.dll is created in the c:\program files\winamp\plugins directory, but the plugin doesn't show up in the list of available visualisation plugins. I've got no idea on where to go ...

I'm just trying to get my build environment up and running so any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks
