Yet another plugin admin does not install any plugins topic (OneDrive?)

Juozis Puozis

Hello.
Plugin admin does not install any plugins. It’s just exits NPP and does not start.
Another symptom: run npp as admin and try ?->set updater proxy. It does not open. But I don’t have any proxy.
Only remedy I found is to move out out of this folder completely to somewhere else (not in OneDrive
C:\Users%MyUser%\OneDrive\soft_portable\npp_portable
Could it be some kind of an issue with one drive? I would prefer to leave it there.

Your OneDrive is a usually protected folder so the Windows OS will block any executable files from running in there.

Check if your portable installation’s *.exe or *.dll files have the so-called Mark of the Web on them.

You can use either Powershell:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Include "*.exe","*.dll" | % { Get-Item $_.FullName -Stream "Zone.Identifier" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }

or the Command Prompt:

dir /S /R | findstr /R ".*exe:Zone\.Identifier:\$DATA .*dll:Zone\.Identifier:\$DATA"

For each of the files that turn up, right-click with the mouse, select Properties, click Unblock, then Apply:
