This ANSI plugin is not compatible with your Unicode Notepad++

Mark Russell

I get the error message described in the title line each time I launch Notepad++. The following plugins seem to be at issue;
7z.dll,
CSScriptLibrary.dll,
ICSharpCode.NRefactory.CSharp.dll, and
Mono.Cecil.dll
I assume these plugins are installed with the application as the only plugin I have loaded explicitly is Rainlexer.dll. The only possible exception is something called Wakatime.dll. I received an email thanking me for downloading it, and it does appear in my list of plugins, although I have no idea what it is or does, and did not intentionally download it.

Can I simply delete the offending .dll files?

Thank you,
Mark R Russell

Most of those sound like some other type of DLL not meant to be loaded as a plugin.

Nope. It’s possible some other plugin (e.g. Wakatime.dll) installed them.

Can I simply delete the offending .dll files?

In theory yes. Unless for some reason Rainlexer.dll needs them.
