This looks very strange and i don’t fully understand it yet: If you are interested on some tech info (reading can be skipped freely, as it does not contain any solutions): Restart notepad++ (only necessary if it was opened while copying the xmltools plugin to it’s folder destination) Please download xmltools manually from here: Įxtract Xml.Tools.2.4.11.0. anywhere to a temporary locationĬreate a folder XMLTools inside of C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\Ĭopy the files XMLTools.dll and change.log as well as the whole folder libs from the extracted Xml.Tools.2.4.11.0.x86.Unicode folder to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\XMLTools If you want to install xmltools manually right now, until we figured out how we could help to fix your specific case: We are looking forward to read your results, after you’ve tested a portable version as suggested by portable download link to npp.7.6.3.bin.zip I hope this helps you for taking the time to provide us with your debug data, your dir listing, and your screenshots, as well as your patience for the last 2 days, it’s much appreciated and welcome to the club of patient people 😉.

if you had old plugins before, they will have to be moved, as the plugins subfolder structure has changed a bit). If you need older plugins, that are not available in “plugins admin” we can guide you where to put them manually Note: if you need other plugins as well, you will also have to re-install them using the official “plugins admin”

(you will now be prompted for your administrator credentials)Īfter the install you will have the full xml tools menu: Now enter xml in the search field and hit next until you see xml tools, select it as seen in this screenshot and hit install. Important: do not use the old “plugin manager”, as it will not put plugins to the correct locations of newer notepad versions 7.6.0 to 7.6.3. (note: you don’t have to uninstall your current notepad++ 7.5.9, just run the npp.7.6.3.Installer.exe and install it over your current version)Īfter that start notepad++.exe and open “plugins admin” as shown at this screenshot: You will need to upgrade to 7.6.3 to get the new “plugins admin” as the old “plugin manager” seems to produce this if you try to install xml tools with it.įirst please upgrade your existing notepad++ to 7.6.3 with the 32 bit updater/installer from > here <<<. The maximum i can get is the same xml tools “how to install” pop up window you see. Welcome to the notepad++ community, i can reproduce this perfectly on notepad++ 7.5.9 using the old “Plugin Manager”.
