After I choose demo plugin and clicked install. Nothing happens. In console I see "Installed plugin: {origin: "C:\Users...." But UI did not changed at all.

If I understand you correctly, you have just installed the plugin (got the correct log message) and you are expecting to see a change in the UI based on the extensions from the plugin.

This is however not how the demo is designed. Although it is definitely possible to achieve this with pluggable electron, this demo is designed to show each step that a plugin flows through individually. To extend the core app, these steps are:

The activation step is to save resources until needed, and the extension points allow the plugin to hook in to multiple functionalities in the main app. See the readme for a description on how each step is tested in this demo.

If I misunderstood the issue or you still can't get this to work, please let me know.
