Xpath File load failed with message: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream

Hi Guys,

First of all thank you for this great tool, it just makes my life so much easier.
And I have never gotten an issue that I could not solve until today.

I’m on MAC using Virtual box to run Window 7 pro.
I already had NPP installed and it worked.
Today after some stupid Windows update, I get this error:

Xpath File load failed with message: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.

Followed by:
mimeTools.dll just crash in

Then NPP just closes.

I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, changed versions…

Help !

Ok found the issue.
It the xpatherizer plug in that has an issue.
Deleted the AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\Config\XPatherizer folder and voila…

You will get an error that the file is missing upon reload, but it works !
