I have never seen difficulty with v7.9.2 installing plugins. I have used it both under “normal installation” (
c:\program files\notepad++\) and portable instances (where debug info showsLocal Conf mode : ON).- Do you have write permission to
C:\Users\MTARKOW3\Notepad\Notepad++\folder? - Do you have write permission to
C:\Users\MTARKOW3\Notepad\Notepad++\pluginsfolder? - How are you trying to install the plugins? Tell us the exact steps you are taking
- Do you have write permission to

Open Notepad++
Plugins / Plugins Admin
Select checkbox for JSTool and click install.
Notepad++ restarts but new plugin not added.Also, I cannot update existing plugins displayed under Updates tab.

What about the question whether you do have proper write access to the mentioned directories?
-
yes, I have write access
-
do you know procmon?
Just before you click install I would start it, set a filter for process to be notepad++.exe and gup.exe
and see what it does
Maybe that will give you a hint why this isn’t working for you.

I had to move my installaion to C:\Program Files\Notepad++ and everything worked.
Thank you for your help. All set.
