Startup warning "still some pending actions to complete installing or removing some plugins"?

Ben S.

When I start the newest NP++ under Win 7 (32bit) then since a few weeks always a warning popup appears:

“There are still some pending actions to complete installing or removing some plugins.
Would you like to do these now (Notepad++ will be restarted”.

If I click button YES or NO
nothing happens. The next time I start NP++ the same warning popup appears.

No information is given which plugin update is pending.

How do I really get rid of this mess?

@Ben-S.

did you try starting npp as administrator?
Maybe some actions, which requires administrative rights, haven’t finished yet!?

Yes, I executed NP++ as Administrator

Meanwhile I re-installed NP++.

After the start a first notification dialog from Plugin Manager pops up
telling me that a new Version of the Plugin Manager is available (v1.4.5 instead of current v1.3.5).
See the following snapshot:

I clicked on button “Update selected” and closed NP++

After restart ALWAYS the second error popup appears.
…about still pending action.

It seems to me that NP++ did not completely updated the Plugin Manager.

Why ?

Can I do this somehow manually?

Where do I download the newest Plugin Manager Plugin v1.4.5 and where (into which (sub)directory) do I have to copy it?

You can find the link under Resources on the Notepad++ home page. To get Plugin Manager, navigate to http://www.brotherstone.co.uk/npp/pm/ There are installation instructions there also, but basically, you unzip the file and copy both the plugins and updater sub-folders from the zip file to your %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++ folder.

Also, I believe the most current version is v1.4.9. :) No, I don’t know why the most current version of the Plugin Manager is not included with the install. :( I’m on 1.4.9 and it seems to work well.
