XML Tools will not work after update from plugin manager
-
After I updated all plugins from the plugin manager, the XML Tools will not work anymore. When I go to Plugins -> XML Tools in the menu, its only submenu is “How to install…”. I tried reinstalling the plugin from the plugin manager, and I tried installing the plugin manually. It did not work.
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ I have libxml2-2.dll and libxslt-1.dllThis the Notepad++ debug information:
Notepad++ v7.5.9 (32-bit)
Build time : Oct 14 2018 - 15:02:52
Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
Plugins : NppExport.dll ComparePlugin.dll DSpellCheck.dll JSLintNpp.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NPPJSONViewer.dll NppSaveAsAdmin.dll NppTextFX.dll PluginManager.dll XMLTools.dllAny ideas on how to fix this?

Check the path where the plugin itself and its libraries lie.
It should be like this:
-
I changed the path structure as you described. It did not solve the issue.
I also removed the 5 libraries that were copied in the same directory as notepad++.exe, but that didn’t help either.Is there something else I could try?
-
Sorry, I didn’t look at your question video for version 7.6.2.
-
I also noticed browsing this forum that there is a version 7.6.2 of Notepad++, while I was still using 7.5.9.
I tried to run the menu option ? -> Update Notepad++, but it said No update is available.I downloaded 7.6.2 from the website and installed it. I installed the XML Tools plugin again from the Plugins Admin, and now it works!
I guess this is an incompatibility between XML Tools 2.4.11 and Notepad++ 7.5.9

I faced the same problem, and after I installed the latest version of NP++, and then I had to reinstall all plugins, then, the latest XML Tools has been installed successfully using the Plugins Admin menu (instead of Plugin Manager).

Me too. I faced the same problem and solved as follows:
- close NP++
- download of the zip archive “xmltools_2.3.2_r908_unicode_beta4.zip” using the NP++ menu “?>Get More Plugins”
- copy the files from the “ext_libs” folder of the zip archive into the root folder of NP++ (on my PC “C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++”) overwriting existing files if needed
- copy the “XMLTools.dll” of the zip archive into the folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins” overwriting existing file if needed
- start NP++

Between XML Tool version 2.4.9.2 and 2.4.11 there were the changes https://github.com/morbac/xmltools/commit/ee145dbcd5f952fba411fa0e1bf331d2deafdf70 and https://github.com/morbac/xmltools/commit/392a9b1b98bd7d079fd4e31913fa28bcc368d500 to be compatible with N++ 7.6.x, but unfortunately that changes seem to be incompatible with the previous N++ version not providing the info about the plugin dir path via the new notification NPPM_GETPLUGINHOMEPATH. I created https://github.com/morbac/xmltools/issues/19 therefore. Meaning for PM as it is also just compatible with N++ before 7.6.x the provided version should be reverted to 2.4.9.2.

Despues de revisar todas las soluciones aqui propuestas, al leer el post de @janher me di cuenta que yo no tenía el menu “Plugin Admin” y entendi que estaba desactualizado, descargué ultima version de Notepad++, 7.6.6 (32 bit), y al abrirla ya tenía el menu XMLTools, pero no funcionaba y lo peor era que desde Plugn Admin, no lo encontraba al buscarlo, entendí que era por haber copiado los archivos manualmente, asi que cerré N++ y eliminé todos los archivos *.dll que habia copiado.
Volvi a ejecutar N++, el menu XMLTools ya no estaba, desde Plugin Admin busqué XMLTools, lo encontré, lo instalé y N++ se reinició, y ahora tenia nuevamente el menu XMLtools y funcionaba. -
