Compare Plugin

Downloaded the lastest version 8.1.9 when trying to install the Compare plugin, it throws and error with the zip file tried even for V7.9.5 this for 64X windows version. Does anyone have similar issue?

@ubaldo-p ,

Apparently no one else has that error (at least none of the 63-or-so views of your post have resulted in anyone willing to admit to the problem). I have used the Compare plugin successfully with v8.1.9 without difficulty.

But I didn’t have to install it, because Compare plugin already was installed when I upgraded to v8.1.9.

So today, since you hadn’t gotten a response, I took a fresh Notepad++ v8.1.9 portable unzip, and used Plugins Admin to install the plugin, and there was no difficulty.

The things I would check if I were you:

1. make sure you have write permission in the C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins directory (or the equivalent for your installation) – or you could temporarily run Notepad++ as Admin in order to install the plugin, if your normal user doesn’t have necessary privileges.
2. make sure you have the proxy settings (?-menu, Set Updater Proxy) correctly defined in Notepad++ if your machine requires a proxy for internet connections.
