The other answers did not work for me because those files did not exist. Nor could I find them in another location using Windows-7 search.
However, they did exist. I found their location via Notepad++. In the menu select:
Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager
then in the pop up press
Settings
At the bottom of this dialog is a section marked Information. This will start:
Plugin Config path is:
Open this location in Windows Explorer. You will need to delete files from this location. But before you then delete these files, close Notepad++. (I have seen some files recreated if Notepad++ was left open.)
Then delete these files:
- PluginManager.ini
- PluginManagerPlugins.xml
- PluginManagerPlugins.zip
and the folder
Then start Notepad++ again. Here you may see the Notepad ++ Plugin Manager dialog. Ensure that any plugins are checked and press
Ignore Selected Updates
Finally, return to the Plugin Manager:
Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager
Press
Settings
and uncheck:
Notify of plugin updates at startup
Probably some of these steps (eg deleting all these files) are redundant but this worked for me.
1Finish installing Plugin Manager would be the simplest way. – Ramhound – 2015-03-11T11:14:41.127
1Can you edit xml files under %APPDATA%\Notepad++ ? – malakrsnaslava – 2015-03-11T11:22:33.277
6@Ramhound I can't finish installing because I'm not system administrator – sceri – 2015-03-11T11:31:28.767
1@malakrsnaslava Yes, I can edit these XMLs – sceri – 2015-03-11T11:33:39.193
1You can't get an
Administrator
to install it for you? Any solution I myself would do would require yourAdministrator
to help you. – Ramhound – 2015-03-11T11:43:55.3732Solved. I manually removed "plugin_install_temp" directory from %APPDATA%\Notepad++
@malakrsnaslava Thanks for clue. – sceri – 2015-03-11T13:25:45.963
1Try using Portable version [http://portableapps.com/apps/development/notepadpp_portable] of notepad++ so that you can install without Administrator rights. – Wishwas – 2015-03-11T14:03:30.300
1@Wishwas problem exists in portable too, solution is to delete ...\Notepad++Portable\Data\Config\plugins\config\PluginManagerGpup.xml – Some_Guy – 2016-12-19T12:10:46.380
