    FYI, auto-updater is just enabled from v7.5.9 to v7.6.3.

        issue: 7.6.3 update is repeatedly triggered.

        i’ve noticed, that the update url response stays on
        <NeedToBeUpdated>yes</NeedToBeUpdated>,
        even if notepad++ 7.6.3 is already installed.

        so every time you check for updates on a 7.6.3 installation, it will currently always prompt: “an update package is avaliable, do you want to download it”.

        it stays the same if you reload and reinstall the same 7.6.3 version.
        it will still present the same 7.6.3 download again.
        (both tested on x86 and x64 installs)

        can you confirm ?

          I Confirm.
          Thank you for the heads up.
          I just stop it and see what’s wrong.
          I will keep you posted.

            Due to a stupid error:
            https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/d7c942ee2fc46595e25371f5b189c4c45b2896fd

            Auto-updater will be triggered in the next version (v7.6.4).

              no problem at all, everything was nicely quiet and happy so far.
              many thanks for the quick fix. 👍

                May be weekend, that’s why. However, users are getting triggered now.

                  thanks.
                  i was not able to reproduce any of the past instances, where a 32 bit installer was downloaded by gup of an 64 bit installation.
                  (at least not on the clean test systems, where each just has one notepad++ installed, either 32 or 64 bit.)

                  do you know of a specific way to reproduce that ?

                  However, users are getting triggered now.

                  7.6.3 auto update already has been taken down, set to a maximum of 7.5.9, confirmed and tested.

                  you can check this at your browser by simulating different versions with the following updater url’s:

                  7.5.8 updater: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=7.58
                  7.5.9 updater: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=7.59
                  7.6.2 updater: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=7.62
                  7.6.3 updater: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=7.63

                  note: examples are for the 32 bit versions

                    Even, I am not able to reproduce. But there can be two possibilities. May be in some corner case,

                    1. Either notepad++ is not able to identify whether it is running as 32 or 64 before launching GUP.exe
                    2. Or Notepad++ passes proper argument, but gup. is not able to parse properly.

                      Hi,

                      I just realized Markdown installed via installer doesn’t work in v7.6.3. Can anyone here confirm me Markdown doesn’t work in v7.6.3 installer’s version?

                        i can confirm.

                        the predefined userDefineLang.xml including Markdown (Default), is not copied to %AppData%\Notepad++ after the first run of notepad++.exe at user level, if it does not exist.

                        an %AppData%\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml file will currently only be created if we create any dummy udl.

                        test platform:

                        i’ve taken a new, blank windows 10 vm and installed npp.7.6.3.Installer.exe.

                        debug info:

                        Notepad++ v7.6.3 (32-bit)
                        Build time : Jan 27 2019 - 17:20:30

                        Local Conf mode : OFF

                          Thank you for your very prompt test and confirmation.
                          It’ll be fixed in v7.6.4.
                          It’s crazy that no user report it, or it’s just me who is not aware of users’ complaint?

                            you’re welcome and many thanks back.

                            we did not get any complaints about the missing markdown udl at a fresh install either.

                            i personally did not notice it, because i’ve downloaded the predefined userDefineLang.xml manually, prior to release, on some of the clean testing instances.

                            and i did not pursue the missing markdown (default) udl on installs which already had existing udls, as we were prepared in advance with the info, that an already existing userDefineLang.xml will not be overwritten.
                            my apologies for that.

                            did you discover this by coincidence, or did you get any private complaint ?

                              Please don’t - it was my responsibility to make sure it works before releasing it.
                              I was integrating Markdown into all zip packages then I realized it doesn’t deployed correctly by Installer in v7.6.3.

                              Anyway, it’ll be better now:
