NP++ stopped working after latest update, even after uninstall and reinstall
-
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using NP++ for ages. But it seems that era has come to an end. I downloaded the latest update and installed it.
After the install, NP++ told me ‘Exception on WP_Create’ - Unknown exception.- I renamed the plugin directory
- re-installed the latest Python plugin
- completely removed NP++ and plugins
- re-installed NP++, both 32- and 64 bit version, versions 7.4.2., 7.5. and 7.5.1.
Nothing worked. I keep getting the error message ‘Exception on WP_Create’ - Unknown exception, which is driving me up the wall by know.
You are my last hope. If this won’t work, I will have to say bye bye to NP++, although honestly I don’t know how I’ll get by without it.
So: any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Grtz.,

Try to use the portable version
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.5.1/npp.7.5.1.bin.7zTry to clean application data folder : C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++

Why can’t I edit my original question? Anyway, the error message was: ‘Exception on WM_Create’ - Unknown exception (not WP)

@cmeriaux Thanks Christophe, the portable version works, good thinking! Nice solution. But do you have any idea what causes the error message? I have now cleaned the app data folder as well, completely deinstalled the original version, including plugins, but it still won’t work.
I guess there’s no way to save my latest session, having deleted all associated files, including session.xml, which I literally saw vanish before my very eyes as it was eaten by the great data beast . . . :-(
Anyway, thanks again Christophe! For now at least I am happy with the portable version. :-)
By the way: apologies for the late answer. The reason is that I am being treated like a kid: “As a new user, you can only post once every 1200 second(s) until you have earned 2 reputation - please wait before posting again”.
It doesn’t tell why new users can only post every 1200 second(s), nor does it say how I can ‘earn’ 2 ‘reputation’, leaving me completely in the dark… -
Thanks @cmeriaux and @Scott-Sumner240 for the upvotes. I guess that’s adding to my ‘reputation’, right? Much appreciated!
