I just got a new laptop with Vista Business SP1 and I just can't seem to make it work. I downloaded and installed notepad++ from the sourceforge. I can run it with no problem, but if I copy notepad++.exe anywhere else and run it, it gives me series of errors complaining about failing to load some xml files (langs.xml, config.xml, stylers.xml) and also finding dlls and failing scintilla.init. which are located by the way in: C:\Program Files\Notepad++ and some of them (but not all) in AppData. So I can run it as is but can't replace Windows original notepad.exe like I used to. This means if I double click a .txt file after following the instructions in this thread, I get all described errors. I tried not using %AppData% option during install with no result. I also copied some of those xml files from installed location (Program Files) to AppData which got rid of some of the errors but all. Any ideas? Thanks! Hi,

Ah and one more thing , my notepad++ installation (which is 4.5) does not include "notpad.exe" directly , it has a normal "notepad++.exe" executable shall I rename the file to "notepad.exe" then copy it :?: please help gays … I have pre-installed windows xp sp2 on my HP machine , I can’t replace any the files within the windows directory nor system32.
