    Hello, I used a patch that disabled the UAC on Vista. When I upgraded to 4.6 I started getting an error whenever I launch notepad++. I get a message that says:

    "The requested operation requires elevation"

    And immediately after that I get a message saying:

    "Exception: 1002"

    After I click ok on both of the messages the program launches fine.

      Got the same messages on Vista Ultimate with UAC active. It looks that GUP is causing problems; the messages will disappear:
      -- if you disable GUP, or
      -- if you run Notepad++ as an administrator

      The second solution triggers confirmation pop-up from UAC, but on your machine it might be absent.
      I had to use the first solution, since I frequently open documents from the right-click menu in Explorer and pop-ups make it very annoying.

          First I thougt  it could be GNU GUP (Group Update Program): http://packages.debian.org/en/sarge/gup

          And then I looked to the Notepad++ homepage: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/news.php
          "Thanks to GUP, Notepad++ v4.6 has the capacity to search and install the update package (if available) from Internet.

          GUP (Generic Updater for win32) project is made originally for Notepad++. During its conception, one idea came in my mind : if it can fit Notepad++, it can fit any Windows program. Thus the birth of GUP.
          See : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gup-w32/ and http://gup-w32.sourceforge.net/ for more detail of GUP." (25/11/2007, v4.6)

      GUP = Settings -> Preferences -> Misc -> Enable Notepad++ Auto-Updater.

      If you disable this, "GUP" will not run, and thus you will not get the 'Elevation' question.
