The only thing the plugin would do differently is put "QVTKWidget.h" in the .ui 
file instead of the "qvtkwidget.h" you put in yourself by promoting the 
QWidget.  If you inspect the .ui file after using the plugin to create the 
widget or after promoting the QWidget, there is no difference.

Since Windows doesn't care about case sensitivity, your problem is that you've 
not specified the include path to QVTKWidget.h for compiling your project.
