1. Re: How to build and run sample extensions?
lesavage Dec 2, 2014 8:25 AM (in response to stefanwoe123)Can you try one of the extensions which is listed under 'CEP 4 extensions' section at Adobe-CEP/Samples · GitHub. It is not clear from the above whether you are using Ai CC 2014 or Ai CC so a CEP 4 extension should work on both versions.
Kind regards,
Lea

5. Re: How to build and run sample extensions?
lesavage Dec 2, 2014 9:45 AM (in response to stefanwoe123)In Illustrator can you go to Help > About Illustrator to get the exact version. We can then check the product ranges defined in the <extension_name>/CSXS/manifest.xml file to determine if the extension should be loaded in your version of Illustrator.

7. Re: How to build and run sample extensions?
stefanwoe123 Dec 3, 2014 2:06 AM (in response to stefanwoe123)I now made further tests with the TutorialUI sample from Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 SDK
I see in the Logfile C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\csxs5-ILST.log
2014-12-03 10:47:14 : INFO PlugPlugLoadExtension called for extension : com.adobe.illustrator.tutorialui.dialog
2014-12-03 10:47:14 : INFO Return value of PlugPlugLoadExtension call : PlugPlugErrorCode_internalError
In the debugger i see that
err = (*pFnLoadExtension)(inExtensionID);
returns PlugPlugErrorCode_streamCloseCallbackNotFound (38)
I can not find any information about the meaning or cause of these return values.

lesavage Dec 3, 2014 6:49 AM (in response to stefanwoe123)In terms of the manifest file, you need to ensure that the range defined for Illustrator e.g.:
<Host Name="ILST" Version="[17.0,17.9]" />
Includes the version of Illustrator that you are running. Your version of Illustrator is 18.1.0 so this is not in the above range. Try modifying the manifest's range to [17.0, 18.9].

lesavage Dec 3, 2014 7:31 AM (in response to lesavage)Can you send your C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\csxs5-ILST.log to lesavage at adobe dot com so I can investigate further?

10. Re: How to build and run sample extensions?
stefanwoe123 Dec 3, 2014 7:36 AM (in response to lesavage)I already tried that in the meanwhile and used a very large range:
<HostList> <Host Name="ILST" Version="[1.0,99.9]" /> </HostList> The result of this is are the error codes above listed today.
Thanks for your Help, Lea, but i still do not get it to work.
Is there not maybe a significant Step that i am missing???

11. Re: How to build and run sample extensions?
lesavage Dec 4, 2014 1:27 AM (in response to stefanwoe123)The issue related to how the samples were copied to the extensions directory. When you have .zxp files you need to extract the contents and place these inside the extensions directory.
For example NOT this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\
TutorialUI.zxp
UIShowcase_sample.zxp
But this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\
TutorialUI\
UIShowcase_sample\
You can install the .zxp through Extension Manager or, for development purposes, rename the filetype to .zip.
