Summary0001964: Vst3Shell not working in OpenMPT
Description

I installed a plugin called Misstortion2, and installed it via the installer that you get when you download it from a website. It only comes in Vst3 and I found out OpenMPT doesn't support Vst3 after failing to load Misstortion2 directly. So I do some looking and decide to try Vst3Shell as it looks the simplest and easiest to use as I like keeping things minimal.
I have Misstortion2 installed to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3, and all of Vst3Shell's components installed to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\vst3shell_v1.4, however when I add Vst3Shell to OpenMPT as a plugin (after scanning the vst3shell_v1.4 folder in OpenMPT for new plug-ins) the "Editor" button is grayed out and I can't open it or use it.
Nothing happens afterwards, I installed my plugins into what I believe is the standard location, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for the help, means a lot

Steps To Reproduce

-Install Misstortion2 to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 via the Misstortion2 installer
-Download Vst3Shell from https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=565924, unzip the file and move everything into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\vst3shell_v1.4
-Create a new Module
-Go to Plugins on the General tab, press select, and scan C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\vst3shell_v1.4 in the plugin manager
-Add either Vst3Shell (64 bit version not 32) or Vsti3Shell
-Editor button is gray for me, nothing else happens and Misstortion2 still won't open

TagsNo tags attached.
Has the bug occurred in previous versions?No, this is the first time I've tried using Vst3Shell
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

That sounds like an issue with Misstortion2, not with vst3shell. Does Misstortion2 work in any other VST host, both loaded directly or through vst3shell?
