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 ?

      Hi 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.

        Hello
        I have similar issue but using Windows 10 1809, so don't understand why VFS merging is not working apparently.
        Any other idea ?
