Dear Friend, Thank you for your support. The Manifest.xml file in the Sample UI Projects of Illustrator (CC2015.3 and CC 2017) has the value ,Like below <Host Name="ILST" Version="18.0"/>. So Only I used Version="18.0". If I use  <Host Name="ILST" Version="18.0"/>.    Then extension is installed in Adobe illustrator Versions CC2014 And CC 2015.3. else if  I use  <Host Name="ILST" Version="20.0"/>.    Then extension is installed in Adobe illustrator CC 2015.3 only. Now i'm Understood that Version="20.0" is the Correct choice For Illustrator CC 2015.3. Thank You for your guidance. And I m Having a  doubt, Is version value is same as Adobe illustrator Versions?. Is it Correct? please note that : At the Time of Debugging I can't  See my extension in Windows>Extension menu. Please give your suggestion to solve this problem. Nathan. ... View more

Dear Friend, Thank you For your immediate reply. I Prepared zxp file for you which is run in cc version. And try to rename it as Zip and extract to view the files as you already said. Then I am surprised that there an CSXS\manifest.xml exist in the extracted zip File. Then I add a new Folder CSXS and and new file manifest.xml and copy the content of manifest.xml from extracted zip. Then changed the following Service manager root direcory: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3\CEP Target Illustrator: CC 2015.3 And <Host Name="ILST" Version="18.0" /> <RequiredRuntime Name="CSXS" Version="5.0" /> as given in Illustrator 2015.3 SDK  Sample  UI projects. Then I export the project as zxp and Install by using Anastasiy’s Extension Manager. My extension is shown in Window>Extenstions menu in Illustrator CC 2015.3. But there is a problem at the time of debugging the extenstion is not shown I try with copy my project from eclipse's workspace to following locations C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3\CEP\extensions C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions But the extension is not shown at debuging time. please give your suggestion to solve this problem.
