Modification Package doesn't work
I have made two packages.
Main package: Notepad++ 7
Modification package: Containing two plugins (dll files) in VFS.
After successfully installing i don't see my plugins in Notepad.
If i create this emty folder structure locally "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\" and start Notepad++, then i will see the two extra plugins. This is not workable. It's look like the VFS is not MERGED.
I have zip everything and included instructions. Could some help me fixing this issue or tell me what i do wrong?

Hi
Hereafter an extract of manifest file:
<Dependencies>
<TargetDeviceFamily MaxVersionTested="10.0.19043.0" MinVersion="10.0.17763.0" Name="Windows.Desktop" />
<uap4:MainPackageDependency Name="Thales.MyApp" Publisher="CN=_TestJSA_SigningCert, O=Example Ltd, L=Marseille, S=France, C=FR" />
</Dependencies>I guess it is OK regarding minimal target right ?

- jfbaudeCopper ContributorHi all
Sorry for this question but can VFS merge any kind of file ?
Can we change for example an icon (or image) thru this feature ?
I did some trial and it is not working as expected

I had this problem too when Modification Packages were announced, but I haven't tested this on the newer versions of Windows

Dian Hartono Hi, I'm using a older version (17xxx). I will upgrade our machine and then test again.
- jfbaudeCopper ContributorHello
I have similar issue but using Windows 10 1809, so don't understand why VFS merging is not working apparently.
Any other idea ?
