Notepad++ upgrade
Jan 21, 2010 Technology, Web Development, Work
At work my main workstation is a Microsoft Vista box. I do most of my development in Notepad++ and a little bit in PSPad. I had previously been running an older version of Notepad++ (v5.4.5 UNICODE to be exact) and I was upgrading to v5.6.4 UNICODE. Here are a few things to keep in mind when upgrading:
- Windows Vista: Give your user login full permissions to the c:\Program Files\Notepad++ folder. This allows you to make theme changes and other changes in the system and have those changes get saved automatically.
- Open My Computer and navigate to c:\Program Files
- Right click on Notepad++ folder and go to Properties
- Select the Security tab and click the Edit button
- Click Add and search for your name
- Once you have added your name click on it under Group or user names
- Check the Full control allow checkbox and click OK on the remaining properties boxes.
- If you use the Function List plugin make sure you visit here and download the FunctionList20091109_dll.zip file and place this .dll in the plugins folder (c:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\). This download is compatible with the Unicode version of Notepad++ 5.5 +.
