But there aren't such ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin subfolder in v2.0.0 Source code (zip)

And how to install manually ComparePlugin v2.0.0 ? Please help!

Hello @ballios,

https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases You should not download source code but ComparePlugin_v2.0.0_ (either x64 or x86).

Best regards.

Just upgraded notepad++, compare plug-in did not work after that, although it used to work (installed from plug-in manager).

Tried to install from the plug-in manager but never succeeded.

Then I followed the above step and it works again. Just need to make sure the correct binaries got copied over (for me it is the x86 version).

Thanks a lot!

Hello ! Do you use the file in the ".\ plugin-2.0.0\projects\2013" or".\ plugin-2.0.0\projects\2015"? If not,please build it with your Visual Studio.Then there will be a folder called "Notepad++",copy the ComparePlugin and the ComparePlugin.dll to the place , for me it's the "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\ComparePlugin".You need to create the folder ComparePlugin in the" C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins" before you copy them.Restart it！ One more,if your version is x64,you may need to change the platform in the Configuration manager，because the default is x86. Good Luck!

The instructions do say

To install the plugin manually for usage with Notepad++, copy ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin subfolder into the plugins directory (Notepad++ installation dir)\Notepad++\Plugins.

But this is wrong. You must create a folder Notepad++\Plugins\ComparePlugin. And then into that, copy the ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin folder that were downloaded.
