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.

This bug has already been reported, see here .

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?

[Eko palypse]

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.

Eko

[patrickdrd]

yes, it only lists the plugins, nothing more

[Eko palypse]

@patrickdrd

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?

@donho ,
Great, thanks a lot!

As I already wrote :

A solution for that issue would be that Notepad++ itself checks the existence of plugins\config and creates them if they are missing.

Fixed in https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/a079013c22512cfd212dff3a76bbf39b0a7a4224
Could you confirm if this bug is fixed for you?

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.

[donho]

@dinkumoil
It’s been fixed.
Otherwise you can download x86 release build here:

Tested and it worked.

Since version 7.6, the ANSI code page is sometimes incorrectly detected. A file containing text “CHRÁNĚNÉ”, encoded in ANSI (Windows with the Czech Republic region selected, i.e. the Windows 1250 code page), is opened as “CHRÁNÌNÉ” (in both versions 7.6 and 7.6.1) with the automatically selected code page ISO 8859-3.

For file with more Czech letters (e.g. “ěščřžýáíé” at the first row) is ANSI code page selected properly, but text “CHRÁNĚNÉ” was also enough to select ANSI in 7.5.9 (and the older ones).

Some ANSI files (with Czech letters) are incorrectly opened in ISO 8859-2.

So far I have to stay on version 7.5.9, in which the ANSI code page is always selected correctly.

Besides this case, Notepad ++ is an excellent text editor.

Thanks, Jan

Any idea what I can do for this issue?
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16790/notepad-7-6-1/20

I cannot install any plugin. Any attempt just keeps trying to downgrade Notepad++ and never installs the plugin.

@Ketrel

haven’t had seen this before but could you check what happens if
you uncheck enable notepad++ auto-updater from
settings->preferences->misc dialog?
Maybe restart npp afterwards and try to install plugins.
If this doesn’t help would you mind posting the debug-info from ? menu?
