Hi All,
I'm working on a hybrid extension for Indesign CC2022 application. I have followed and tried all the steps mentioned in the documentations and "Getting-Started-guides"(from GitHub). Still, I'm getting -160! error for installation. I'm abled to install html zxp file but when I trying to intall it with the native plug-ins, it returns -160! status code. Please suggest me if  I'm missing something.

160 means that it is not able to find the file. See the following

Now what I suspect is copying over of the resources folder. Try commenting it and see if the plugin is copied over or not

And I think the cause is that the source attribute for folder should end with a / according to the documentation.

If all files in a folder have to be installed to the same destination folder, you don't have to add all files individually. Put a slash at the end of folder name when specifying source attribute, then all files in that folder will be packaged into the extension. For example, if the folder name is "Resources", the following line will cause all files in this folder copied to the destination folder:

<file source="Resources/" destination="$dreamweaver/configuration/Resources"/>
