I can't build plugin for maya 2026

I downloaded the Maya 2026 DevKit from Autodesk’s website, and when I try to build 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 the DevKits for Update 1, Update 2, and Update 3 — but I still get the same error every time.

My plugin is using:

Qt 5.15.2 — msvc2019_64

Could this be the reason for the problem?
Or is the issue coming from Maya itself?

Maya moved to Qt6 in 2025, so that’s probably your issue.

Thanks a lot!

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.
