Notepad++ 7.6 and SQLinForm plugin

Stephen Fullerton

Just tried updating to Notepad++7.6 and cannot get the SQLinForm Plugin to load correctly. Made sure I had the latest versions of each and followed the instructions about putting the plugin DLL in the Local Appdata Directory etc etc and still no SQLinForm plugin when I restart Notepad++.
Can anyone assist?
Thank you

Please provide the following informations:

Do you run a local installation of Noteapd++ (installed by an installer-exe)? If yes: did you select the option “don’t use %APPDATA%” during installation?

Additionally, post the path of notepad++.exe and the path to which you have copied the plugin DLL file.

Local installation

If yes: did you select the option “don’t use %APPDATA%” during installation?

No I did not select this option

Additionally, post the path of notepad++.exe and the path to which you have copied the plugin DLL file
The exe is located at C:\program files\notepad++
The path to the plug-in is
%localappdata%\notepad++\plugins\sqlinform

Let me know if you need more information

Since the DLL file of the SQLinForm plugin is named SQLinFormNpp.dll the file has to be copied to %LocalAppData%\notepad++\plugins\SQLinFormNpp. The name of the directory has to exactly match the name of the DLL file excluding the extension .dll

, so installation via PA went fine during my tests.
