Make Apps, not war - Notepad++ v8.3.3 released

Hi Experts,
I don’t know if this is the right spot for my message, I hope so… If that’s not the case, please move whereever is the right place.
I’m basic user with very limited development knowledge, but I use NPP quite a lot. I have recently installed the version 8.3.3 and I noticed the “Style All Occurrences of Token” is not working, however the “Syle One Token” is working just fine. Last version where this feature worked properly was 7.9.5.

Yep, wrong place.
This thread is to be kept clear for critical issues with v8.3.3.
Probably best to start a new thread in the Help Wanted area.If that’s not the case, please move whereever is the right place
No one can “move” it.

I just installed manually from:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v8.3.3/
Download 64-bit x64 --> Installer
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v8.3.3/npp.8.3.3.Installer.x64.exe
version Notepad++ 8.3.3 (Make Apps, not war).
On my Windows 10 21H2: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1586]:
After installation I can’t start NP++ with this message from MS:
Comparing size of this and previous installer:
Its something wrong on my machine or its something else?

Could you launch Notepad++ with no plugins via command line (ie.
notepad++.exe -noPlugin -
Details from explorer in Windows 7:
3947 KB = ARM64 (npp.8.3.3.Installer.arm64.exe)
4060 KB = x86 (npp.8.3.3.Installer.exe)
4336 KB = x64 (npp.8.3.3.Installer.x64.exe)I checked the 1st several characters and last couple in the SHA-256 hash and are correct as list the hashes listed on the Github download page.
You apparently downloaded the ARM64 installer by the size shown. The link you posted seems OK for x64, while the size of the downloaded installer file does not match what your image shows. Try to download with the link you posted.

Add 4 API for custom auto-indentation and getting current macro status.
what is this?

Follow the link to #11253 that was listed in the line item you quoted, and follow that to the commit that closed it, and you will see that
4 new API are added:
- NPPM_GETEXTERNALLEXERAUTOINDENTMODE
- NPPM_SETEXTERNALLEXERAUTOINDENTMODE
- NPPM_ISAUTOINDENTON
- NPPM_GETCURRENTMACROSTATUS
And if you go to the user manual issue that was created, you will see that the user manual source has been updated to document those messages, and thus they will be available on the main user manual website the next time that website is updated.

@donho That would not affect this error: Windows is refusing to load the executable.

I don’t follow you.
Could you provide more detail info please? -

Looks like the installation is corrupted, isn’t it?
My Npp executable is much bigger.

Hello @ekopalypse and All,
If I click on the link :
I download the
npp.8.3.3.Installer.x64.exefile which correctly has a size of4336 Kb( or4,439,848 bytes)Refer to https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/75284
Note that I do not use installers because I work with portable versions, exclusively !
However, if I right-click on this file and choose the option
7-zip > Ouvrir l'archive, I can verify that theNotepad++.exefile, contained in this archive, is exactly6,097,320 bytes. And if I divide this number by1024, I do get a size of5,954.41 Kbwhich is quite similar to your result :5955 Kb!Best Regards,
guy038

Ahh, the installation file and not the npp application, I see.
Yes, then the installation file seems to be corrupted as it is 4,336KB as you said. -

Could you provide more detail info please?If Windows tells you “this app can’t run on your PC” it isn’t going to start it, so no command line options will make any difference.

FYI, auto-updater has been triggered for v8.3.3.

But, as you have been shown above, it appears that you actually have the ARM64 application, not the x64 application. If you try to run ARM64 code on a non-ARM processor, the error message that you show is the error message that Windows uses. Delete your 8.3.3 installer, and re-download, making sure to grab the x64, not the ARM64, using the link https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v8.3.3/npp.8.3.3.Installer.x64.exe, which is the first installer link on https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v8.3.3/ – when you run that installer, it will re-install with the x64 executable, and you should be able to run

@mpheath probably I did it. Today I downloaded again x64 ver and it works fine. Thanks for your support :)
-
Please HELP! I’ve upgraded today to NPP8.3.3; but after that I cannot run notepad++.exe. I even downloaded it from its GitHub link, the result is the same. Windows 10 21h2 x64.
-
Have you tried running without plugins? (ie.
notepad++.exe -noPluginfrom the command line ) If you were on an older Notepad++ and had plugins,some of those plugins will have to be removed and reinstalled because of incompatibility. -

Not me! I was simply pointing out that command line options do not affect whether or not Windows will run a program at all. It’s really rather simple: command line options are processed by the program once it is running. If Windows declines to run it, command line options will never be processed.
