Did you install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the plugin?

@Pete E the Screenshot unfortunately does not tell us if you are using a 64bit Windows system. Seeing a log file of a short test recording would give us more details.

@Squishyspud and @Titanfall1967 you can use 7zip, which is free, or an updated version of WinRaR to open 7z files. Then you should see a VideoSourcPluginWrapper.dll and a folder (with more files). All have to be extracted into the corresponding folder:

32bit Windows System (64bit OBS will not be installed and cannot run)
C:\Program Files\OBS\plugins

64bit Windows System (what most people have)
32bit plugin for 32bit OBS: C:\Program Files (x86)\OBS\plugins
64bit plugin for 64bit OBS: C:\Program Files\OBS\plugins

When you run OBS in its titlebar it will show Open Broadcaster Software v0.657b - 64bit, if you are running the 64bit version. Make sure your anti-virus software does not remove files because of false negatives or being too agressive. And if nothing works, definitely also post a log file for us. It will show us something like:
