I read the below thread and found CC Extension Manager Will not support install extension for CC 2017

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your immediate reply and suggestion.

I try the compare method as you said,and found that The problem is ILST Version automatically changed at the time of Debugging.I think this is the problem.

When I am trying Debug As Adobe Illustrator extension then ILST version automatically changed like below

But Exporting ZXP contains a manifest.html in that file the ILST" Version="20.0" /> which is Same as I Wrote in code(manifest.html).

please see the comparision given below

please give your suggestion how to solved this problem.

Thank you Friend,

Nathan.

Follow Step 3 to edit the manifest.xml in your extension builder project:

Adobe Extension Builder and Creative Cloud 2014

Dear Nathan,

My Service Manager Root Directory is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2017\CEP\extensions . And User Specific Service Manager root Directory is C:\Users\sam\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4. Is these all right?

Thanks a lot

Dear Nathan,

Wow! Miracle happened! The Extension shows up.Thanks you so much!

I also wonder is there a way can automatically generate the Extension Project at debug time ?

Thanks again,

Dear Friend,

If you Set Service Manager Root Directory and User Specific Service Manager root Directory Correctly and Debug your Project then the Files Automatically Generate to the Location C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2017\CEP\extensions.

I dont Know why the Auto generation is Missing.

Dear Friend,

Is Your Extension Project is Copied(Automatically Generated at Debug time) to the location C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2017\CEP\extensions at the Debug time.(like com.example.yourProjectName).

If your answer is No then You Manually Copy Your Project files From Your Workspace to the Location C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2017\CEP\extensions.

Thank you Friend,

Nathan.

Dear Friend,

Thanks for your reply.

I had done all the method you refered, but nothing changed. another question is that

"change the RequireRunTime attribute to : <RequiredRuntime Name=”CSXS” Version=”5.0″ />" , in my host application(Version 21.0) , I should set the RequireRunTime Version as 5.0 or what else? Is 7.0 right?

Thanks a lot!

Dear Friend,

<Host Name="ILST" Version="21.0"/> and RequiredRuntime Name="CSXS" Version="7.0"/> is Right for CC 2017.

But

<Host Name="ILST" Version="20.0"/> and RequiredRuntime Name="CSXS" Version="5.0"/> is also Working For me in CC 2017 .

Thank You Friend,

Nathan.

Location of the extension folder depends on the Illustrator version:

Illustrator CC (17.0)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\

Illustrator CC 2014 (18.0)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\

Illustrator CC 2015 (or later)

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2015\CEP\

Extension Manager only supports up to CC 2014:

Adobe Exchange

You could try the command line tools, but I don't think these work very well with the latest versions of Illustrator:

Adobe Exchange

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your immediate reply.

At the time of Debugging ( Debug As>Adobe illustrator Extension in eclipse).Extension is shown in Window>Extentension Menu of Illustrator CC version.

But In CC 2015.3 the the extension is not shown in At the time of Debugging.

Changed the Target Illustrator Application to CC 2015.3.

Then i have a doubt,Is the below Setting is correct For Illustrator CC 2015.3 or Not

Please note that There is no ServiceManager.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP path

CEP directory containsonly extensions Directory.Please see the below Image

But For Illustrator CC Version the CEPServiceManager4 Directory(C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4) contains CEPServiceManager.exe

So I Set Service Manager root Directory as C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4

in Preference for Illustrator CC Version.

There is no ServiceManager.exe for CC 2015.3.How can i set the serviece Manager root Directory for the same.

Please give your suggestion.

Thank you friend,

Nathan.

Extension Builder 3 has not been updated since Illustrator CC. The link below explains how to get it to work with CC 2014 and says "New developer tools will be released in the future.", but it doesn't look like there have been any updates:

Adobe Extension Builder and Creative Cloud 2014

Have you updated your manifest.xml file so that it supports CC 2015.3 (version 20), e.g.

Have you set the PlayerDebugMode flag in the registry for CSXS.7?

What happens if you set the Service Manager Root Folder to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3\CEP\ ?
