Can't Install Customize Toolbar

gtshadow

When I try to install Customize Toolbar, I get an message that says, “It has not been possible to validate the integrity of ‘Customize Toolbar.dll’ needed to update or install a plugin. Do you want to copy this file anyway (Not recommended)?”

If it isn’t recommended, I’d rather not do it unless it is safe to do so. Is there a way around this, or does anyone know what the risks are, or if it is safe to install?

welcome to the notepad++ community, @gtshadow

we would need your debug information and how you have installed customize toolbar.
if you are on 7.6.6 and you have installed it using the built in plugins > plugins admin it should work out of the box.

I never actually installed the plugin. I got the message I gave above, when using the plugin manager plugin to try to install Customize Toolbar. I used the plugin manager to install the other plugins I have, with no problems. I’m using version 7.5.9. Will try updating to newest version and see if it works.

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 : DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll AutoSave.dll ColorPicker.dll PluginManager.dll

@gtshadow

thank you for your debug information.

yes, best is if you just go to the menu ? > update notepad++.
especially because it comes with the official built in plugins admin which replaces the old plugin manager.

once you have done the update, just go to plugins > plugins admin to re-install all your plugins.
it has a search field, so you can find listed plugins easier.
select your desired plugins, like color picker, autosave, dspellcheck, etc. and you are good to go.

Upgrading to newest version solved the problem. Thanks for your help, @Meta-Chuh
