I just installed the latest version on Notepad++. It fails to launch when I edit a file, say a *.txt file, and several error messages are displayed:
Load langs.xml failed!
Scintilla error: can not load the dynamic library
106901: Scintilla.init failed!
I used the executable version of the download to install Notepad++ and assumed that all the necessary components to run it were installed; apparently not. What am I missing here in the install?
Thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Look for the Notepad launcher (NppLauncher.bin.zip) from the Download page on the Notepad++ site. It contains a Notepad.exe file which is about 18Kb in size that determines the location of notepad++ from the registry and then launches that process.
with that launcher utility and you can replace the default notepad completely.
Note if you also have the original OS files (i386 folder) on your machine, you'll need to replace it there first or Windows will automatically restore the original.

Replace:
\windows\system32\dllcache\notepad.exe
\windows\system32\notepad.exe
\windows\notepad.exe
with that launcher utility and you can replace the default notepad completely.

I had the same error, copy langs.xml and
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\*.dll into c:\windows
