Why don't you just use virtualdub2 instead? It opens all those input types natively

It's sounds like you downloaded the source files rather than the release. Try here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdubffmpeginputplugin/files/

The main download button gives you VirtualdubFFMpegPlugin_1905_X86_X64.zip,
but you can get VirtualdubFFMpegPlugin_1906_X86_X64.zip there as well.

Both contain a plugins32 and plugins64 folder. If you're using the 32 bit version of VirtualDub, copy the contents of the plugins32 folder to VirtualDub's plugins32 folder. Do the same for the plugins64 folder if you're using the 64 bit version. There's links for both the 32 and 64 bit version of VirtualDub on the VideoHelp page.

Both folders contain a file called FFInputDriver.vdplugin (or FFInputDriver_64.vdplugin), and a folder called ffdlls. They're what you need.

I don't use either program much, but I know VirtualDub2 has a lot of new features compared to the original VirtualDub. It'd be worth a look (and you won't need the ffmpeg input driver)..
