Maya 2026 Plugin Load Error — Need Help

[abdelhalim_abulmagd]

I downloaded the Maya 2026 Dev Kit from Autodesk’s website, and whenever I try to load my plugin, I keep getting this error:

// The specified module could not be found.
// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2026/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: The specified module could not be found.
// (testPlugin)

I also tested build with the Dev Kits for Update 1, Update 2, and Update 3 — but I still get the same error every time.

I’m using Qt in my plugin:
Qt 5.15.2 — msvc2019_64

Then I tried building with:
Qt 6.8.2 — msvc2022_64

But I still get the same issue — the plugin won’t load inside Maya.

If anyone has run into this before or knows what might cause this, I’d really appreciate the help.

I think the issue was because I was using the library downloaded directly from the Qt website.
While I was checking the files in the Maya dev kit, I found a folder named Qt, so I used the .lib files from there, and it worked.

The plugin loaded successfully.
