<![CDATA[compare plugin doesn't install]]>When I click the compare plugin on notepad ++ v7.8.4 (64 bit) it doesn’t install. I see a download box, but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

If your IT group makes you go through a proxy server, follow the instructions in this other post for changing the proxy settings (in case it’s not clear over there: you must Run as Administrator to change proxy settings). I think this should fix your download issue

Your second issue (“even when I try to download and install from a third party”) was clarified in your other post in another compare-plugin thread (please keep your issue consolidated here) is because you “moved it into notepad + +\plugins”. That’s wrong, and has been for over a year (since v7.6.3 in Jan 2019). Notepad++ now keeps its plugins in <installdir>\plugins\PluginName\PluginName.dll. So the ComparePlugin would go as <installdir>\plugins\ComparePlugin\ComparePlugin.dll, with any subfolders it wants as subfolders of that folder (<installdir>\plugins\ComparePlugin\subfoldername); there shouldn’t be any DLLs directly in <installdir>\plugins anymore.

The download box pops up and nothing happens. Even when I try to download and install from a third party I can’t get the plugin to work.

You do not get any information that something is happening?
No error, no progress etc… ?
Can you post your debug-info, which is available from the last menu, the ? menu?
