Plugin manager missing on Notepad++ x86
-
I installed the x64 version of Notepad++ via on my laptop running Windows 10 Enterprise 15063.250 with
choco install notepadplusplus.install
I then realized that I didn’t have plugin manager in the x64 version of Notepad++ so I uninstalled it with the chocolatey gui and installed the 32 bit version of notepad++ via chocolatey on my laptop running Windows 10 Enterprise 15063.250 with
choco install --x86 notepadplusplus.install
I then still didn’t have Plugin manager so, I I then uninstalled it using the chocolatey gui, but when I typed which notepad++ (which is an alias for get-command $args -All | Format-Table Definition) at a PowerShell prompt it was showing as available from:
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\notepad++.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exeI deleted C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\notepad++.exe and that got rid of one of the entries returned by which , but which at a PowerShell prompt still said it was at C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe I then manually uninstalled it using Add Remove programs. Now, when I type which notepad++ I still see:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
but C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ no longer exists . In a DOS prompt I did a
set > c:\set.txt
and opened set.txt with a text editor but “notepad++” isn’t in my path or anywhere else in my environment. I guess it’s somewhere in the registry?
In Powershell I’ve done:
C:\windows\system32> get-command notepad++ -allCommandType Name Version Source
Alias notepad++ -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\n…
C:\windows\system32> remove-item alias:notepad++
The alias for notepad++ goes away but returns if I restart PowerShell, so it must be in the registry.I’ve manually downloaded the and installed x86 version of Notepad++ from the Notepad++ website, but I still don’t have Plugin manager. Any idea how to fix this?
