        Didn’t check with previous versions, but seems like there is a problem with “indonesian.xml” (failed to copy). But it was copied to that folder (dated 26.02.20205, so a new file there).

          I can reproduce the issue in installer x64 of v8.7.8 and v8.7.7
          Both have the same result of error message, however the file (indonesian.xml) is well copied into the destination folder, and it is a valid localization file (“Bahasha Indonesia” is applicable).

          I have no idea about the error message. If anyone has any idea, please let us know.

            @schnurlos The image does not show irish.xml. Irish is supposed to be copied after Indonesian and that is what the error is about.

            https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/bb0ed32d40b3ba17285f8d45dd3ddbfdd90d9b67/PowerEditor/installer/nsisInclude/langs4Npp.nsh#L138

            The iriish.xml does not look correct with the double i in the name.
