How are you running your new version, from the wireshark-gtk2 directory in your build tree, or via an installer you have built?

You should also state your OS and Wireshark version number.

Run it from the build directory by typing

Wireshark-GTK2\wireshark

You need to copy the compiled dll in either the global or personal plugins folder. You can locate them by clicking on Help -> About Wireshark -> Folders tab.
