Description of the Issue

Notepad++ said that Plugin Manager and JSONViewer had updates. Updating requested to update Plugin Manager first. I updated Plugin Manager. requested was updated to version

Analysis

See Debugging information below to note that CSScriptNpp.dll could not be found because it is referring to 'file:///C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\CSScriptNpp\CSScriptNpp\CSScriptNpp.dll' but should refer to 'file:///C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\CSScriptNpp\CSScriptNpp.dll'.

There is a CSScriptNpp.64.dll file (v1.7.8.0 via Windows Properties) and providing the CSScriptNpp.dll file (v1.7.8.0) causes Notepad++ to start and declare that it "Cannot load 32-bit plugin" and that "CSScriptNpp.dll is not compatible with the current version of Notepad++"

Components

Notepad++ v7.5.9 (64-bit) HTML Tag v1.1.0.0 Converter v4.2 DSpellCheck v1.4.6.0 JSON View v1.31 MIME Tools v2.1 Plugin Manager v1.4.12.0 (from Windows Properties for PluginManager.dll) XML Tools v2.4.9.2 unicode; libXML 2.9.3, libXSTL 1.1.28

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open Notepad++
  2. Click Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager
  3. Plugin Manager dialog opens and displays "Downloading plugin list..."
  4. Wait 5 seconds
  5. Notepad++ : a free (GNU) source code editor has stopped working

Expected Behavior

I expected Plugin Manager to load the current list of plugins.

Actual Behavior

Notepad++ has stopped working

@JayRTurner99 See e.g. https://github.com/oleg-shilo/cs-script.npp/issues/28. The modifications of N++ in preparation for the builtin PluginAdmin with 7.6 (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7.6-released.html) caused some trouble for existing plugins. https://github.com/oleg-shilo/cs-script.npp/releases/tag/v1.7.24 should fix the problems.

So this can't be fixed on PM side, but is an issue of the plugin.

Be aware that PM just works up to N++ 7.5.9 and not really with 7.6 apart from displaying the plugin list.
