      I tested in a VM to install Notepad++ as a normal Windows user. I found that it is only possible to update the plugin list when logged in as an administrator.

      It’s not been done yet. I’ll modify NTFS folder’s right for %PROGRAMDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\Config\ in order to be able to update nppPluginList.dll in the future release.

      Furthermore I was faced with crashes of Notepad++ when terminating it. Also various plugins I installed via Plugin Admin caused a crash. It stops after I have installed the NppFTP plugin. The reason was that this plugin creates the directory %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\Config which did not exist after installation of Notepad++.

      I would say: It’s time for a new release. :-(

      That’s for sure. However, any suggestion for the remedy of crash?

                OK, first of all sorry for the spam. Now I got it all. I will write down my problem again with details and a screenshot.
                On Windows XP, Plugins Admin can not be used to install or update a plugin. When I try to install or update a plugin the following error message pops up:

                Here is the debug info of my installed Notepad++:

                Notepad++ v7.6.1 (32-bit)
                Build time : Dec 12 2018 - 01:24:22
                Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
                Admin mode : OFF
                Local Conf mode : OFF
                OS : Windows XP (32-bit)
                Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll

                Should I fill out a bug report for this?

                P.S.
                Thanks PeterJones I already got it.

                    does the plugin manager work in 7.6.1?

                    I’m running v7.6.1 portable and it doesn’t work for me, “No new plugins available”,
                    I actually deleted it because I thought that it was replaced by the new plugins admin,
                    what could I do?

                      correct, currently it is only added to the msi package but you can make it work with the portable version.
                      Here is what I did

                      • downloaded https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.1/npp.7.6.1.bin.x64.7z
                      • downloaded https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.1/npp.7.6.1.Installer.x64.exe
                      • extracted the 7z into folder C:\temp\761
                      • opened the exe with 7zip and
                      1. extracted the folder updater into c:\temp\761 as well
                      2. extracted nppPluginList.dll to folder C:\temp\761\plugins\Config

                      Start npp and you should see the plugins Admin… under plugin menu.

                        yes, I had read about this and the plugin admin is working,
                        I was asking about the previous plugin manager,
                        should we delete that?

                          I would say this is up to you but if there is a
                          builtin plugin manager I don’t see a fair chance for the
                          former plugin manager that it will survive for long.
                          My 2 cents.

                            Just tested it, if you treat the former plugin manager in the same way
                            as the new plugins, meaning, creating a folder PluginManager under
                            plugins directory and copy PluginManager.dll into it, it is available.

                            But, obviously doesn’t work as expected in terms of installing plugins.

                              yes, it only lists the plugins, nothing more

                                correct, how should it know about the new folder structure.
                                One thing which might be useful is to use it to download the plugins
                                which aren’t migrated yet. Create the directory, copy the downloaded plugin - done - hopefully.

                                  As far as I remember, you mentioned adding SHA computing functionality next to the MD5 in the Tools sub-menu (now that the Plugin Admin validates the plugins by SHA). Am I mistaken?

                                        Where can I download a debug build of Notepad++? The AppVeyor build of the commit above and the commit before have failed, no artifacts available.

                                          Otherwise you can download x86 release build here:
