Install Plugins without Admin Rights and Internet Connection - Manual Way doesn't work.

@alan-kilborn
For example HTML Tag OR XML Tools
This website: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/HTMLTag/HTMLTag plugin v1.0.0/
It is not the newest version of the plugin.

Yes on this way I tried it.
First time in the Program Files Path and on the second time with an path where the user has the rights to write.

I get always the result message --> It was successfull please restart notepad++ - but after the restart there is no plugin.

You wouldn’t get this message if trying my suggestion of manually copying the file into the appropriate place, so I can’t tell if you are actually trying that or not. Maybe it is a language barrier.

Further information:
Notepad++ creates an folder called HTML Tag with includes the dll file.

But in notepad++ there is nothing shown.

I read, that sometimes the message can come or not.
This is my manual: https://okidk.de/notepad-plugins-konnen-unter-windows-10-nicht-installiert-werden/
I do Method 5.

This message I get:

I looked at that.
That version is really old.
It might just be that that version is incompatible with a more modern (e.g. 8.4.2) Notepad++.
If it were me, I would not try to use that version of the plugin.

@p-fue ,

If you want to do a manual installation of HTML Tag plugin:

Note that the Plugins Admin lists the now-official home of HTML Tag as https://bitbucket.org/rdipardo/htmltag/ , not that ancient sourceforge link; and that points to https://bitbucket.org/rdipardo/htmltag/downloads/ as the downloads location
Download the zip file for the 64bit plugin
unzip the plugin to a temporary location
Do not use the Settings > Import > Import plugin(s). Exit Notepad++.
Create a new folder ...<notepad++install-location>\Plugins\HTMLTag\
Copy all the files from the temporary location to ...<notepad++install-location>\Plugins\HTMLTag\
Restart Notepad++
The plugin will be in the Plugins menu if you have followed these correctly

The only time that Settings > Import > Import plugin(s) works is if your plugin only has a DLL and no other files; the HTMLTag has other files, so Settings > Import DLL will not work, because it will not put the other files in the right place.

Great - it works!

Do you have other download-links for these plugins?

Compare
HEX-Editor
Npp Xml Treeview
XML Tools

Thanks for your help.

You can find download links embedded in the data here:

Off-topic, but worth pointing out to future visitors of this thread. When @inmizi-miz quoted Peter’s reply, the link to the plugin repository was mangled so that, bizarrely, the /downloads path segment redirects to a commercial website selling light fixtures (*):

Rest assured the link text is correct; just make sure to paste it into your browser’s address bar.

(*) Looks like someone’s clipboard history got pasted into an accidentally summoned “Edit Hyperlink” pop-up window

@rdipardo ,

It’s actually a new form of spam that I noticed in a few other posts – by that same user, and a couple others. The posts have been removed, and the posters flagged. (I hadn’t noticed at the time that it was the same user or that links had been edited)
