AkMP3Source.lib appears to be missing from the WWise install for 2016.1.2

Question

I'm upgrading the Wwise in my unreal project to 2016.1.2 and the AkMP3Source.lib appears to be missing from the SDK that I installed. By counterpoint, the 2015.1.6 WWise install contains 12 copies of the library. I've followed the instruction for setting up the Wwise Unreal plugin on your website for 2016.1.2.

Can you check the installer and ensure that the library is included, please.

Sincerely,

Jeremy

The MP3 plugin is deprecated in 2016.1, which is why you don't see it in the distribution.  Your game project seems to be referencing the lib somehow in its linking options.  The Wwise installer can't modify the linker options (imagine the nightmare!).  Simply remove it and you should be good to go.
