      Hello Claudia and dail,

      Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

      Yes, I’m using VS 2013 Express.
      Some questions:

      1. I’ve built NPP a few times before. Are those Headers/Libraries new? Or they just were not included in the Express edition?
      2. What would you advise me to do? Should I install the Community Edition or wdk7.1?
        Can I install the the Community Edition over the Express Edition or I’d have to uninstall first?
        (I assume installing wdk7.1 would be faster and lighter. correct?).

      Best regards.

        I think it’s just that some of the new N++ code depends on them for the first time, thus just now causing the errors to show up.

        What would you advise me to do?

        That’s up to you I guess. The Community edition (which is free) certain isn’t required but that’s not to say issues like this won’t come up again.

        Can I install the the Community Edition over the Express Edition

        I don’t believe so but I’m not really sure.

        I assume installing wdk7.1 would be faster and lighter. correct?

        Yes.

          Hello dail,

          Thank you for the detailed explanation.
          Is burning the ISO file on a DVD the only way to install wdk7.1?

          Best regards.

            Oh! I thought wdk7.1 was a simple exe! :/ Maybe the Community edition is a better option.

              Thank you for the prompt reply. Really kind of you.

              Claudia might know if it’s possible to install the the Community Edition over the Express Edition.
              I’ll wait a bit.

              And if I have to uninstall the Express Edition, wouldn’t it better to install the 2015 edition?

              BR.

                That’s probably up to you. Notepad++ “officially” uses 2013 but don’t think there is an issues with 2015. Personally I use 2013 since some of the other software projects I work on require 2013.

                  Thanks again! I’m really grateful.

                  I guess I’d better stick to the 2013 edition.
                  I’ll wait for Claudia’s reply as to uninstalling first.

                  BR.

                    Hello Yaron and dail,

                    community edition (CE) doesn’t upgrade express edition(EE), but you can install it in parallel.
                    CE has the advantage that it act’s like the professional editions, librarys are available,
                    you are allowed to develop commercial software (there are restriction in how big the company is
                    and that are only up to five developers are allowed to use CE version - please be directed to the
                    license terms from MS) and you can use the plugins which are available for visual studio.
                    CE disadvantage, from my point of view are the license terms but this needs to be decided by
                    everyone for its own.

                    If you are fine with the license terms then I don’t see any reason why to use express edition any longer.

                    Regarding wdk, no you don’t have to burn a cd/dvd.
                    windows 7 and earlier can use cd/dvd mounter like magiciso, daemon tools, wincdemu, poweriso etc…
                    Windows8 and later do have it incooperated in explorer. Right click on iso and choose mount.

                    Cheers
                    Claudia

                      Hello Claudia and dail,

                      @Claudia-Frank,

                      Thank you so much! I really appreciate the detailed reply.

                      I’ve decided to try the lighter option first.
                      I’ve installed MagicISO (thanks for that too), and then wdk7.1.

                      Sorry to bother you yet again.
                      Could you please elaborate on modifying the include directories?
                      Where should I do that?

                      @dail,
                      Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

                      Best regards.

                        Hello Yaron,

                        either you edit the notepadPlus.vcxproj file directly or you use visual studio to do so.

                        File editing:
                        There are two nodes Unicode Debug|Win32 and Unicode Release|Win32

                        IncludePath needs to be extended with D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\atl71
                        and
                        LibraryPath with D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386

                        Like here

                        <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Unicode Debug|Win32'">
                        	<OutDir>$(Configuration)\</OutDir>
                        	<IntDir>$(Configuration)\</IntDir>
                        	<LinkIncremental>false</LinkIncremental>
                        	<IncludePath>D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\atl71;$(IncludePath)</IncludePath>
                        	<LibraryPath>D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386;$(LibraryPath)</LibraryPath>
                        </PropertyGroup>
                        
                        <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Unicode Release|Win32'">
                        	<OutDir>..\bin\</OutDir>
                        	<IntDir>$(Configuration)\</IntDir>
                        	<LinkIncremental>false</LinkIncremental>
                        	<IncludePath>D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\atl71;$(IncludePath)</IncludePath>
                        	<LibraryPath>D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386;$(LibraryPath)</LibraryPath>
                        </PropertyGroup>
                        

                        when using visual studio, load the solution notepadPlus.sln.
                        Once done, right click on notepad++ in class view and choose properties.
                        In properties window select vc++ directories
                        Click on include directories and a trianlge marker appears on the right,
                        click it -> two new lines appear click on edit
                        Add D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\atl71
                        click on apply

                        Do the same steps for library but add D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386

                        close.

                        Right click on notepad++ and choose build (or via menu)
                        No error message should appear.

                        Cheers
                        Claudia

                          Thank you very much. I appreciate your kindness and patience.

                          No errors but multiple warnings.
                          Should I have changed any thing here?

                            Hello Yaron,

                            actually I do get the same warnings.
                            As I use this npp on my pc only ( others do get the official ones ;-)
                            I ignore them, in order to get rid of the warnings I assume you need to change
                            alt headers as the error suggest that different permissions are merged.

                            Hmm … will try to check this out.

                            Cheers

                              Hello Claudia,

                              If you ignore them, I’ll do the same. :)
                              And, obviously :), I don’t quite understand your suggestion.
                              I’ll wait for your further tests.

                              Many thanks again. I’m truly grateful.

                                Hello Yaron,

                                when right clicking on notepad++ in project view
                                you see a folder external dependencies and under this folder
                                there is a file called atlbase.h If you double click on it
                                search for #pragma section(“ATL$__a”, read, shared)
                                comment the three lines and/or replace it with the ones here.

                                //#pragma section("ATL$__a", read, shared)
                                //#pragma section("ATL$__z", read, shared)
                                //#pragma section("ATL$__m", read, shared)
                                #pragma section("ATL$__a", read)
                                #pragma section("ATL$__z", read)
                                #pragma section("ATL$__m", read)
                                

                                Warnings gone, basically, what ms says, shared means that all process can get access this section
                                but from my understanding this isn’t possible within an win32 environment at all due to memory protection
                                between processes.

                                So from my point it is even safe to ignore it. (but I did the change - less to read on the output ;-))

                                Cheers
                                Claudia

                                  could you check if the atlbase.h version provided by community edition has still the shared flag?
                                  Actually I don’t see any reason for it. Maybe someone can enlight me.

                                  Cheers

                                    Commenting those lines generated some errors.
                                    Replacing them works well (no warnings).

                                    Thank you.

                                      Not for me, I actually commented them

                                        I have actually not seen the series. I usually prefer European films. :)
                                        Anyway, may he RIP.

                                        Could you please see this?

                                          sorry, I 'm a fool :-D (can’t stop laughing)
                                          What I meant was commenting the lines to still have the old version
                                          but to add the new statements with read flag only.
                                          Basically what I have posted but not said :-D

                                          Sorry for confusion.

                                          Cheers
                                          Claudia
