Hi KumarOne,

1) As Dian recommended, first try a 1903 build, I had some issues in the past with 1809 too.

Also, make sure that the files in both packages are under VFS and not directly in the package root. The last time I checked modification packages worked correctly only when the main package had the application files under VFS folder.

Thanks,

Bogdan
