Hi @plaban.

Had you already imported the Google Widgets extension package prior to making your updates to metadata.xml?

Please forward the metadata.xml file in a private message so I can review the contents.

Please let me know also which version of ThingWorx you are running and which version of the extension you imported.

Regards.

Hi @plaban.

I tested with the changes you made and was able to successfully import the updated extension.

-  Did you make your modifications to the file that needs to be reimported?

-  Can you validate that the .zip contains your updated version of metadata.xml?

Regards.

Hi Sharon,

I have changed the files and verified the zip. It contains the file.

Can you please share the file you have updated over email?

Thanks,

Plaban

Hi @plaban.

For the sake of others on the Community, the solution to this problem was as follows:

1) Download the Google Mail extension

2) Update the metadata.xml file per the instructions in this article

3) If the extension was previously imported, modify the packageVersion per the article instructions

4) Import the extension

This article may also help with troubleshooting import issues.

Hi,

I'm able to reproduce the same error when the directory structure of the importing zip file is incorrect.

Below is the correct directory structure and location of files, so you might want to compare the structure of your importing zip file with the original one.
