upload aem package not working AEM 6.1

I have an aem project in eclipse and built the package zip file by using maven autoInstallPackage command.

package was not uploaded either through maven build & deploy OR through CRXDE Lite package manager page.

Error pop up while uploading through package manager page : "package file parameter is missing"

I have done following suggestions 1) In quickstart.bat , start.bat file I have added -Djava.io.tmpdir='C:\Users\name\Adobe\Author\temp" and made sure temp folder created

This change does not solve the issue.

The only way I got the package uploaded was, created "install" folder below crx-quickstart folder and copied the package zip file. Restarted the aem server.

It picked up the zip file and package got uploaded and I could see the bundle in installed status on admin console as bundle has some dependencies not resolved.

It looks like this is related to my project only, because I reinstalled 'cq-insights-content' zip file through package manager and it went through fine.

Environment: Windows OS, AEM 6.1, Java 1.8, IE, Chrome.
