      I have checked out the https://github.com/donho/xmlSigner project and it is what I needed. I have used that project to correctly pass the XML signing test. I have opened some issues with that project. Here is a quick summary of how the update process works. The wingup code first queries a website to determine if an update is required and the returned XML provides information to be used later. None of the information in the XML is used if it doesn’t pass the XML security check. After passing the security check the code looks for the update status and download location, assuming an update is required. After prompting the user to download the update and finishing the download, it checks the code signing of the installer. Assuming that the code signing is valid and the correct certificate, it starts the install. I will try to document all the customizations to the code from Notepad++, wingup and xmlSigner to make it work in my project so that future users have a place to start, but that will be after I am sure its all working correctly with the new security updates. Thank you @xomx for pointing me in the right direction.

      @dz15mlru Disable automatic encoding recognition. For Windows-1251 encoded Russian, auto-recognition will always open as Macintosh. If you start editing files, you will have two encodings, or rather garbage from two encodings, which will be difficult to fix manually, since you will have to re-read all the texts (this is a module for spoiling files). When you disable automatic encoding assignment, you will only have ANSI, UTF-8, UTF-16. WindowsXP-7-8-10-11 it will always open the ANSI file correctly, in 1251 encoding, as this is the default encoding. The remaining UTF-8 and others will also open automatically correctly. You will get rid of the problem forever. The automatic text encoding recognition module is needed if you open files in Arabic in ANSI, but in reality you will never do this, since a Russian-speaking person has only Russian-language files on their computer. People who want to make the file available to all people on earth save the file in UTF-8 encoding and it will always open correctly for you. You don’t need automatic file recognition, as it’s only for local files that you’ll never get from someone else’s computer abroad. Отключи автоматической распознавание кодировки. Для русского языка в кодировке Windows-1251 автораспознавание всегда будет открываться как Macintosh. Если начать редактировать файлы, то у вас будет две кодировки, точнее мусор из двух кодировок, который будет трудно исправить вручную, так как вам придётся перечитать все тексты (это модуль для порчи файлов). Когда вы отключите автораспозначание кодировки, то у вас будет только ANSI, UTF-8, UTF-16. WindowsXP-7-8-10-11 всегда откроет файл ANSI правильно, в кодировке 1251, так как это кодировка по умолчанию. Остальные UTF-8 и прочие откроются также автоматически правильно. Вы навсегда избавитесь от проблемы. Модуль автоматического распознавания кодировки текста нужен если вы открываете файлы на арабском языке в ANSI, но в реальности вы никогда этого не сделаете, так как у русскоязычного человека на компьютере есть только русскоязычные файлы. Люди, которые хотят сделать файл доступным для всех людей на земле сохраняют файл в кодировке UTF-8 и он всегда откроется правильно у вас. Вам не нужно автоматическое распознавание файлов, так как оно только для локальных файлов, которые у вас никогда не появятся с чужого заграничного компьютера.

      @xomx said in Notepad++ release 8.9.4: @donho said in Notepad++ release 8.9.4: Add NPP_LANG property to install a specific localization file for MSI. (Fix issue reported in comment ) As is correctly noted in this GitHub comment, the lang info should be stored into Registry HKLM and not into HKCU. Fixed by: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/09e50bad56c493a6dfd2d034d288b5271a656d96
