Visual Studio 2005 Templates for Plugins and Loaders :: Overview This is a template for easy creation of IDA Plugins and Loaders using MS Visual Studio 2005 or later (ie VS2008 or VS2010) This helps by setting all required settings, paths and preprocessor values required to create both 32bit and 64bit modules from the same sourcecode. This will save work and time even for those with experience writing plugins, but it is of most use for those who are new to it and don't know where to start. :: Install Copy these into your IDA sdk directories to "install" them. :: Usage Open the solution file in Visual Studio to use the template. You should be able to build a complete working plugin or loader straight away. You can then get straight into developiong your plugins without worrying about the setup, just make a copy of the directory and start editing the source code.
