hi,i followed the steps you suggested.It was perfect till setting/module,but I didnt find edit option in it instead I am having Apps,Updates,Installed Modules,Update Modules List,Apply scheduled Upgrades etc under the modules menu

Try this... [1] Activate "Technical Features" for admin user [2] Settings->Technical->User Interface->MenuItems [3] Edit "Settings/Modules" [4] Add submenu called "Import" with "Action: ir.actions.act_window" and "Module Import" [5] Save the changes and refresh the window (You can see a new submenu called "Import") [6] Settings->Modules->Import [7] Select the downloaded zip file (attachment_size_limit-7.0.1.0.zip) then click "Import Module"
