Apparently can cause blue-screens on WinXP. Details here:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1952617&forum_id=331753

The included explorer.dll is the problem (in the Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++\Plugins directory); deleting it or moving may prevent the crash.

A 4.8.1 release is promised in the next few days.

EDIT: Apparently it may not be explorer.dll. The autoupdate (gup.exe) may be the issue. If so, then the portable version isn't affected, as it doesn't include gup.exe.

See the referenced thread above for more details.

It would appear that gup.exe, the autoupdater, has an issue with its manifest. As we don't use this in the portable version, it is unaffected. Nevertheless, I will release an updated 4.8.1 when they do to ensure all is in sync.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks for the update. For

Thanks for the update.

For interested readers, the red herring about explorer.dll is based on comments earlier in the SF thread, where a poster reports the problem solved when explorer.dll is removed. Later comments point to gup.exe, however.

Thanks
