Notepad++ 7.5.2 release

I confirm error “To register the Notepad++ shell extensions properly, place NppShell.dll in the same directory as the Notepad++ executable.” is also a regression.

Root cause for both the errors (shell dlll and missing themes) is same. There was an execution order issue in the nsis script.

@Bill-Huber Ahh, you’re talking about the main Notepad++ page: https://notepad-plus-plus.org, not the application About Notepad++ box! That is expected, as the news page for each release states:

Auto-updater will be triggered in few days if there’s no critical issue found.

Hi Claudia,

Thanks for this. I checked the SHA hash and it was the same as you reported.

Then I updated my Malwarebytes virus definitions and now it is reported as clean.
Phew!

I guess I now know what to do the next time Malwarebytes reports a problem…

The Shell Extension doesn’t register probably if install with Silent parameter. Also the PluginManager is missing.

Plugin Manger missing in clean install (32-bit).

Using the 32-bit version, I find that if I use the mouse to drag an edge of the window (to change its size), the cursor sometimes persists when I return the mouse to the working area of the NP++ window.

Regarding the shell extension error messaging, it will be fixed in v7.5.3, which will be available in a couple of days.

Are the themes not included in this release?

It’s a regression which will be fixed in the next release. Just be patient for a couple of day.
