This FAQ has links that explain why that isn’t going to happen, and how to manually install the Plugin Manager.

Are you copying the files manually? Or by PluginManager?

Is the observed crash of Snippets the known one https://github.com/ffes/nppsnippets/issues/14 ? Or a new one for which you might create an new issue to get it fixed.

@Hussam-Mahmoud-El-Maghraby To get good help, you’re probably going to have to show a bit more data. Sure, some ambitious people here could make some guesses (i.e., do a lot of mental work), but why put them thru that? Put 4 spaces on the front of every line of data in Notepad++ before copying and pasting here, for best results. If you see a black background on your data in the preview pane as you are composing your post, you are doing it right. Such a black box would look like this: I acutally have 4 spaces before the "I", when I was Composed Me, too, but before my "M"

@Ben-Saunders seems to be a known issue which can be solved updating the plugin. Cheers Claudia

@vinsworldcom178 I haven’t used MinGW for windows builds so can’t say for sure what your problem is. But I have described here what I have done to build npp and scintilla with VS2017 community edition. The steps for plugins should be quite similar. A more detailed version include a lot of screenshots can be downloaded or viewed from here If something is unclear, let us know. (together with the name of the plugin you tried to build) Cheers Claudia

@Miloš-Bogdanović You are asking a FAQ. It unzips fine for me.

Thank you very much to Peter Jones . I will work through your options

Good news: I’ve received an email by @bruderstein. He will try to fix the cert error as soon as possible.
