      Dear Notepad++ Community,

      I had the same problem, my plugins don’t work after update. I have x64 version, the issue is not the x86 because I have no warning for that.

      HexEditor and my own plugin (https://github.com/gaebor/NppPlugin/tree/master/rel/Win_Unicode_x64) both stopped working.

      I went back to release 7.5.9 which was the last one working. After that 7.6 and 7.6.1 complained about HexEditor (x64, Unicode https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/Hex Editor/Hex Editor Plugin v0.9.5/)

      After that (7.6.2 and onward) they just stop working (although the dll-s present in the same location)

        @gaebor This plugin has not been supported for 10 years.

            @andrecool-68 that’s the one I used, only an older version.
            But HexEditor9.5.19 (https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/releases) has the same issue: works for 7.5.9, doesn’t work for 7.7 :(

              From 7.5 to 7.7 there was a change on where / how the plugins are located. Are the plugins in their own directories in the plugins directory, i.e.,

              PS VinsWorldcomT@..\notepad++\plugins> tree .\HexEditor\
              .\HexEditor\
              `-- HexEditor.dll
              

              FYI: I’ve been using HexEditor 0.9.5 in N++ every version since 6.something. I certainly worked for me in all the versions mentioned here, 7.5.9, 7.7 and 7.7.1.

                HexEditor plugin for Notepad ++ … is a child’s toy!
                I use full editors!

                  The “silent” installation switch (/s) doesn’t seem to be working anymore.

                    @MichielOverweel For the installer nsis, the key /s has not been canceled!
                    start /wait setup.exe /s

                      @andrecool-68 I’m using the installer that’s available for download (npp.7.7.1.Installer.x64.exe). When I start that one with the “/s” switch, the installation runs interactively instead of silently. This used to work up to version 7.7.

                        @MichielOverweel Run this:
                        start /wait npp.7.7.1.Installer.x64.exe /s
                        Or so:
                        npp.7.7.1.Installer.x64.exe /s

                          @andrecool-68 Yes, that’s what I’m doing. Have you tried this yourself? Does it work for you?

                            It always works for me!
                            I can run any installer from the command line!

                              @MichielOverweel If this is a big problem for you, then use this utility:
                              https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Launchers-Shutdown-Tools/Silent-key-finder.shtml
                              She can install the installer in stealth mode, and show the keys for a silent installation.

                                The menu command Edit->Line Operations->Sort Lines as Integers Ascending broke in this 7.7.1 (64-bit) release. I.e., it does attempt to sort the lines, but the ordering is off. I can’t figure out exactly what ordering it is applying, but while ordered in some fashion, it’s clearly not correct.

                                It was working in 7.7, and when I reverted to 7.7 from 7.7.1, it began working again. So it’s definitely a regression in 7.7.1. I can provide a longish (140KB) file containing a list of IP addresses that reproduces the issue, if necessary.

                                Thank you.

                                    @MichielOverweel, you need to use /S instead of /s flag for silent mode installation. Mind capital S here.

                                        @MichielOverweel , Thank you! Glad to know that it helped you. Just for your reference, actually it is not a trick, but nsis installer design behavior.

                                        From Nsis developer reference doc
                                        There are several methods to make an installer or an uninstaller silent:

                                        1. SilentInstall and SilentUninstall
                                        2. SetSilent
                                        3. Passing /S on the command line (case sensitive)

                                        However, (from developer perspective) there are ways to make /S flag case insensitive (e.g. parse command line parameters and take care of /S or /s). Even in most of commercial s/w (at least which I developed or worked upon), command line flag is case insensitive.

                                        Once I get time, I will try to create a PR to make command line flag is case insensitive. Hope that may come in next release, if @donho likes.

                                          I’ve deployed many Notepad++ versions using the “/s” (lower case) switch without issues. I understand that the switch is supposed to be “/S” (upper case) and that this is by design, but up until version 7.7.1, it has always worked using the lower case switch, so I still feel that something has changed in this version. Anyway, I’m happy to use the upper case switch from now on.
