Hi, i'm following this README => GitHub - Adobe-CEP/Getting-Started-guides: Getting Started guides and samples for CEP extensions

And i'm stuck in the very early stages cause i don't see my Extension at all on InDesign ( i do changed the host in my manifest.xml file, adding this =>

<Host Name="IDSN" Version="[10.0,10.9,13.1]" />

in the <HostList>

I'm working on windows, and i did added the register key => PlayerDebugMode = 1  in HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Adobe / CSXS.5 ( and CSXS.4 and CSXS.8,... ), and my IndesignVersion is the 13.1 x64,...

I don't even know where i should start looking to troubleshoot my problem, i'm just trying to follow the first tutorial >___<"

I'm lost here, if anyone could give me any hints, i would be really grateful !

Thanks o/

PS : it might be the wrong place to ask, i wasn't really sure, if so, please excuse me and tell me so, i'll go ask to the right place !

In the host list, there should be only two values at max, min et max version your extension is planned to work with:

<Host Name="IDSN" Version="[10.0,13.1]" />

should work better

Also where did you put the extension ?

Eventually, you would need a restart.

If none of these work, put your manifest here.

    or if you just want to set a min value <Host Name="IDSN" Version="[10,99]" />

    or <Host Name="IDSN" Version="10" /> with no [brackets]
