Why is it so hard to deploy Notepad++ in an enterprise environment?
-
- I want to silently install Notepad++.
- I want to be able to configure the proxy setting when deploying. (Ideally it should use the proxy of Internet Explorer since we use Auto-detect and sometimes we don’t use the proxy)
- I want users to be able to install plugins without having to be admins.
Only the first point I can do. I also found some useful info here:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/17232/install-notepad-plugin-without-admin-rightsBut why in gods name does this have to be this complicated?
Unfortunately the info in the link does not seem to work for me. (It does work, but when I install a plugin when I have the doLocalConf.xml file, it gives me a Hash mismatch error)My 2 questions:
- How do I configure the proxy? Where is this setting saved? (File? Registry?)
- How do I give users without admin rights the permission to install plugins?

I might be late because this topic is old but i found something for me:Open CMD, browse to:
"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\updater"Run GUP -options
(GUP.EXE)You will be prompted for Proxy Information. This will create a File called
“C:\Program Files\Notepad++\updater\gupOptions.xml”It contains the proxy information as following.
<GUPOptions>
<Proxy>
<server>17.17.17.17</server>
<port>0</port>
</Proxy>
</GUPOptions>Hope that helps some other IT Admins
