AE 2018 extensions missing?

Did something change around the CEP extensions in AE 2018?  Doesn't seem to pick up things from  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions anymore.

Previous versions of AE work fine, does it look in a different place now? Even added 15.0 to the manifest's host list, no difference.

Change to this:

<Host Name="AEFT" Version="[11.0,16]" />

and everything would work.

It works fine for me.

What have you edited inside the manifest file?

My extension for Nyx Voltron (Nyx Voltron Teaser on Vimeo )  did show up, so I added 15.0 to the host list and re-signed it. Don't think adding host is it's required in the first place but it didn't help.   I do get the default color theme thing.

<HostList>

            <Host Name="AEFT" Version="[13.0,14.9,15.0]" />

</HostList>

If you extract this into your CEP folder, does it show in 2018?

Maybe it's a problem with the signing, I'll try putting AE in developer mode later so it skips that check.
