      @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.

                                          I’m sorry for your loss.

                                          This is much less common with recent versions. Are you using Notepad++ v7.7.1 (the newest version)? If so, then the bug needs to be reported and investigated here. If not, see the “advice” section, below

                                          debugging issue

                                          If you are using v7.7.1, please confirm this by going to the ? menu, selecting Debug Info and Copy debug info into clipboard and paste it here.

                                          otherwise, it’s not a problem with v7.7.1, and you should follow the advice below and possibly open a new thread in Help Wanted section if you think your circumstances are different than mentioned below and in linked files

                                          advice

                                          Advice for recovering files has been given lots of times in this forum, including https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17302/notepad-shows-null-null-after-crash/3. Search for “null crash” using the forum search to find others. The usual locations for backups are %appdata%\notepad++\backup, which will only be populated if you had enabled **Settings > Preferences > Backup > ** ☐ Enable session snapshot and periodic backup and if the crash occurred when the data had not been saved to disk. If you enabled ☐ Simple or ☐ Verbose in Settings > Preferences > Backup >, it will be either as .bak in the file’s current directory, or .\nppBackup\___.bak, or in whatever directory you defined as the custom backup directory. If you did not have backup-on-save enabled already, or if you didn’t have periodic-backup enabled on an unsaved file, nothing you can do now will fix that. There are file recovery utilities that exist, which can be found in other threads by searching.

                                            @donho Something is not working on your website. When I try to download any version of NPP(exe, 7z or zip) it just tells me that there was an error “Error 503 Backend fetch failed”. Forcing update also doesn’t work.
