Advanced replace not working (n++ 5.1)

    I recently installed Notepad++ 5.1 on a new computer (XP-SP3) and the "advanced replace"-dialog no longer works. When I press Ctrl-R all I get ist a white-on-black "(DC2)" in the text... I just rechecked on my old computer (n++ 5.0.3) and it works...

    Any ideas?

      Currently TextFX is missing from the Unicode 5.1 (textfx provides that dialog). Either revert to 503 or download the 5.1 binary and copy the contents of the ANSI folder into the notepad++ installation (however, do not extract doLocalConf.xml if it is not already present in your installation).

    Go to the plugin manager and install the "TextFX Characters" plugin. Apparently it was removed from the main distribution in spite of it being one of my favorite features. I guess everyone has their favorite plugins as well. "Window Manager" is another of my favorites. Best of luck.

    It was removed from Unicode distribution because of the MSVCRT80.dll dependency issue several users reported. And it is still distribued as ANSI.
