Just want to leave repo steps that I found (i created my install in a folder called USD-install)

1. download: lastest repo to C:\USD and create a USD-install folder inside of it
2. run: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
3. run: py C:\USD\build_scripts\build_usd.py C:\USD\USD-install --no-docs --no-embree --no-python --no-debug-python --no-draco --no-prman --no-materialx --no-alembic --no-hdf5 --no-opencolorio --no-openimageio --no-usdview --no-openvdb --no-ptex --no-imaging
4. I am compiling a windows program from the command line, so I created a new cpp project
5. copied over the bin, include, and lib folder.
6. moved tbb.dll, usd_ar.dll, usd_arch.dll, usd_gf.dll, usd_js.dll, usd_js.dll, usd_kind.dll, usd_pcp.dll, usd_plug.dll, usd_sdf.dll, usd_tf.dll, usd_trace.dll, usd_usd.dll, usd_vt.dll, and usd_work.dll all to the level where my .exe will be generated and run from
7. In usd/pcp/types.h on line 119 change the numeric_limits<size_t>::max() to SIZE_MAX and in base/gf/ilmbase_halfLimits.h comment out the min and max functions on line 66 and 67
8. I then linked against lib/tbb.lib lib/usd_tf.lib lib/usd_sdf.lib lib/usd_vt.lib lib/usd_usd.lib

• here was my build command:

if not defined DevEnvDir (
	call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
)

set FILES=MinimalUSD.cpp

set LIBS=kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib shlwapi.lib dbghelp.lib
set DLLLIBS=lib/tbb.lib lib/usd_tf.lib lib/usd_sdf.lib lib/usd_vt.lib lib/usd_usd.lib

and here is the program (MinimalUSD.cpp):

int main()
{
   const char *fileName = ".\\test.usda";
   bool bIsSupported = PXR_NS::UsdStage::IsSupportedFile(fileName);
   if( bIsSupported )
   {
      printf("it is supported!\n");
      PXR_NS::UsdStageRefPtr loadedStage = PXR_NS::UsdStage::Open(fileName);
      if( loadedStage )
      {
         PXR_NS::UsdPrim pseudoRoot = loadedStage->GetPseudoRoot();
         printf("Pseudo root path: %s\n", pseudoRoot.GetPath().GetString().c_str());
         for (PXR_NS::UsdPrim const& c : pseudoRoot.GetChildren())
         {
             printf("\tChild path: %s\n", c.GetPath().GetString().c_str());
         }
      }
   }
   return 0;
}

if you run the program you see:

Coding Error: in _GetPluginForType at line 147 of C:\USD\pxr\usd\ar\resolver_v2.cpp -- Failed to find plugin for ArDefaultResolver

turns out I was missing all the plugins, in the USD-install folder /plugin/usd i copied that plugInfo.json to a new resources folder i put at the .exe level

and then in the lib folder there is an internal /lib/usd folder, which i copied up /lib/usd up to the .exe level (so that at the usd folder is at the .exe level) and then it all worked

[xahon]

@yosmo78 it doesn't work

UPD
I was copying wrong "plugins" directory. When I copy "usd" directory from "<installation_dir>/lib/" it works

[meshula]

It sounds like this issue is well explored and several resolutions discussed. Please feel free to open a new issue if necessary.

Please fix version string, and
How do i fix
(#1788) issue

Previously in output dir folder

\usd
	\plugInfo.json
	\ar
	    \resources
	        \plugInfo.json
	\ndr
	    \resources
	        \plugInfo.json
	\sdf
	    \resources
	        \plugInfo.json

	        \plugInfo.json
	        \usdGeom\schema.usda
	...
\tbb.dll
\test.exe
\usd_ar.dll
\usd_arch.dll
\usd_gf.dll
\usd_js.dll 
...

this was how it worked, however it seems
patching it with

foreach(PLUGINFO ${PLUGINFO_FILES} ${PLUGINFO_FILES_DEBUG})
    file_replace_regex(${PLUGINFO} [=["LibraryPath": "../../([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).dll"]=] [=["LibraryPath": "../../../bin/\1.dll"]=])
endforeach()

so the directory structure should change.
Can anyone help me with this, many thanks ?
