          @tanu-uppal,

          Manual install:

          • close all instances of Notepad++
          • download the latest XML Tools – make sure to pick x64 (64-bit) version (witout DEBUG) to match your Notepad++
          • in the plugins directory of your notepad++ install (c:\program files\notepad++\plugins), create an XMLTools folder
          • place the contents of the downloaded zipfile in the XmlTools folder, so that there exists c:\program files\notepad++\plugins\XMLTools\XMLTools.dll
          • open Notepad++
          • Plugins > XML Tools should exist

          @gurikbal-singh,

          That in no way helped the original poster to accomplish the goal of installing XML Tools. If you have a valid reason for recommending that tool over the XML Tools plugin [*], then you may make your case; but just dropping in with a “download this unknown tool” message doesn’t help the discussion.

          edit: after hitting SUBMIT, I realized that maybe the “psiphon” tool was something that can help overcome a corporate firewall; if so, you should really explain that. Also, you should point out that trying to bypass corporate security is grounds for firing at many corporations, so caveat emptor.

              I’m glad that psiphon helped you with auto-update. I don’t know if using such an app would be allowed in @tanu-uppal’s circumstances; and if it’s trying to circumvent corporate firewalls, I wouldn’t advise @tanu-uppal take that approach. Thank you for your clarification.

                      tried installing manually XMLTools-3.0.4.3-x64 which is apparently the latest, but version incompatibility with notepad++ version message comes up :(

                        Well you are trying to install a 64 bit app within the Notepad++ 32bit version. It will NEVER work! You MUST always get the same (32bit or 64bit) as the overlying app. Also if your Windows OS is 64bit as stated then why not install Notepad++ 64bit, then try the XMLTools 64bit as you already have it downloaded.

                          Hi All,
                          I had the same issue after following the recommended steps to enable XML tools plugin. But It worked for me by copying the XMLTools.dll directly to C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins without creating XMLTools folder.

                          Notepad++ v7.3.2 (64-bit)
                          Build time : Feb 12 2017 - 23:17:55
                          Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
                          Admin mode : OFF
                          Local Conf mode : OFF
                          OS : Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
                          Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll XMLTools.dll

                            @Arif-Syed ,

                            Your version (v7.3.2) is very out-of-date. The reason the sequences above didn’t work for you is because the plugin hierarchy changed in v7.6.3 in 2019 (well, it started changing in v7.6 in late 2018, but 7.6-7.6.2 are not recommended due to instabilities).

                            Future readers: only follow @Arif-Syed’s procedure if you have a version v7.5.9 or earlier; it will not work for you if you have v7.6.3 or later.
