Steps

1. Deleted UE Plugin version 3.2.13 files
2. Copied over 4.0.0rc1 plugin contents
3. Compiled UE which compiled 4.0.0rc1 plugin
4. Error at runtime during module loading

Could you first try with our Samples project and see if that is working fine for you?

Next, I will try using the plugin as a local project Plugin first, and check if it works like that. You can see how we are including NoesisGUI plugin in our project and how we reference it in the ModuleRules:

        PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Noesis", "NoesisRuntime" });

        if (Target.bBuildEditor)
        {
            PrivateIncludePathModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "NoesisEditor" });
        }

You can also use this setup to prebuild the plugin for all the configurations. Then you can move the plugin to Unreal Engine Plugins and try again.

Since you are installing NoesisGUI as an Engine plugin, there might be older versions of Noesis.dll or NoesisEditor.dll conflicting in your local project directory. Please double-check your <project>/Binaries folder (and <project>/Intermediate to be safe) and delete any stray Noesis binaries you find.

Please let us know if this solves your issues.

Yup that fixed it! I had stray dll's in the local project directory. Thanks for the assist!
