I am trying to install a Notepad++ plugin from
Plugins -> Plugin Manager
, but my office firewall is restricting its download.Is there any alternate way to download plugin offline?- The easiest way to register a DLL is by updating your Windows computer to the latest version of its operating system. If you want to register DLLs manually instead, you can generate a list of all DLLs on your computer from within Command Prompt, after which point you can open the list in Notepad.
- How to Register a DLL. This wikiHow teaches you how to register a DLL file, which creates a path from the file to the Windows registry. Registering a DLL can fix startup issues for some programs, but most DLL files either don't support.

meenHow to install DLL files. Copy that.dll file into the application or game folder, or you can copy it into the Windows system folder. The path to the system folder for 32-bit version of Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 is C: Windows System32, for 64-bit version is C: Windows syswow64. If you are rewriting the existing.dll file we recommend you to back up the original file.

Here are the steps that worked for me:
- Download the plugin and extract the plugin dll file.
- Place the plugin.dll file under plugin folder of notepad++ installation.For me it was :
C:Program FilesNotepad++plugins
- Go to Notepad++ then :
Settings -> Import -> Import plugin
(import the plugin). - Notepad++ will show the restart message.
- Restart the notepad++.
- Should see new plugin under the Plugins menu. ALL DONE!!

It's worth noting that the exact steps to follow can differ depending on the plugin. (E.g. I've just manually installed XML Tools and this involved copying some files from a subfolder into the root Notepad++ installation directory.) So would recommend the following:-
- Download the plugin you wish to install. A comprehensive list is provided at Notepad++ Plugin Central.
- Extract to a local folder (e.g. using 7-zip or similar).
- Look in the extracted files and folders for any readme files or specific instructions to be followed - and then follow them. In case there aren't any instructions, the one thing that must be done for all plugins is to copy the .DLL file into the plugins folder within your Notepad++ installation folder (e.g.
C:Program Files (x86)Notepad++plugins
).

Plugins -> Open Plugins Folder...

My frustration in being unable to get a plugin for Notepad++ to work came from not realizing that the DLL for the plugin had to be installed directly in the C:Program Files (x86)Notepad++plugins directory, and NOT into a subfolder below that, named for the plugin.
I was misled because every OTHER plugin that comes with the clean installation of Notepad++ IS installed in its own subfolder under plugins.
I tried that with the plugin I was attempting to install (autosave), and just couldn't get it to work. But then thanks to an answer from Steve Chambers above, I tried putting the DLL directly into the plugins folder and PRESTO! It Works.
Hope this helps save someone else similar frustrations!

- Download and extract .zip file having all .dll plugin files under the pathC:ProgramDataNotepad++plugins
- Make sure to create a separated folder for each plugin
- Plugin (.dll) must be compatible with installed Notepad++ version (32 bit or 64 bit)

In v7.7, I had to go to Plugins menu and select 'Open Plugins Folder...' (which goes to C:Program FilesNotepad++plugins).
I had to create a folder for the plugin and extract the .dll into the folder. For example, create a folder called 'JSMinNPP' and place the 'JSMinNPP.dll' in that folder. It doesn't work if you put the dll into the plugins folder.
Finally go to Settings --> Import --> Import plugin(s) and import that dll and restart Notepad++.

Before using plugin NOTE plugins are usually in notepad 32 bit , 32 bit plugin is not compatible with 64 bit and vice versa(Recommendation use Notepad++ 32 bit)
Using Import in Notepad++
I tried Import plugin : https://stackoverflow.com/a/54873143/3266623 However it didnt worked for me
Manual way
1. Download and extract .zip file having all .dll plugin files under the path
C:ProgramDataNotepad++plugins
To download use following link or google the samehttp://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Plugin_Central
2. For placing inside plugins - Make sure to create a separated folder for each plugin

3. (if plugin contains ext_libs folder) Copy ext_libs to the root notepad folder,Usually contains few ddl files i.e.
C:Program Files (x86)Notepad++
C:Program Files (x86)Notepad++

as an aside, i Couldnt import the .dll if it was already in the plugins folder. I put it in a temp folder on the C drive, and it worked perfectly.

For me the with NPP V7.6.6 (x64) this worked:
- Download the plugin, and unzip to some local folder (e.g. Downloads). Make sure you download the correct plugin for your Notepad++ (64 or 32 bit - e.g. see ? -> About Notepad++ to find if you are 64-bit)
- Check each DLL to ensure it is unblocked (right-click, Properties, and check/select Unblock.
- Run Notepad++. If you have UAC enabled, use 'Run as Administrator' to run Notepad++ (Hold Shift key down, right-click Notepad++ icon, and select 'Run as Administrator').
- Go to menu Settings -> Import -> Import plugins...
- Use dialog displayed to locate you local copy of the plugin DLL.
- Once plugin DLL has been selected, Notepad++ should tell you you need to restart. If it doesn't, then Notepad++ has had some problem - though it doesn't tell you what...!
- Restart Notepad++.
The above causes a copy of the plugin DLL to be copied under a subfolder of the same name in C:Program FilesNotepad++plugins.
Putting plugins directly into one of the following folders (or sub-folders for each plugin), as suggested in other answers, did not work for me:
a) %PROGRAMDATA%Notepad++plugins.b) %ALLDATA%Notepad++plugins.

Open the Notepad++ as administrator, then import the .dll from the plugin folder that you pasted inside C:Program File/Notepad++/plugins/

- Cannot get a particular version of the Visual C++ Redistributable installed
mfc110u.dll and MSVCR110.dll

This issue might if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package is not installed properly.
I suggest you to uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package to check if it helps.
Follow the below steps:
Step 1: Uninstall the exiting Microsoft Visual C++.
a) Press Windows key + x key and select Programs and Features.
b) Right click on the Microsoft Visual C++ and uninstall it.
Step 2: Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ and install it.
Refer to the below link:
2012 version:
You could try downloading the re-distributable package from Microsoft here:
X64
Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 from Official Microsoft Download Center, and install it.
X86
Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4I

Refer to the link below and check if the issue is resolved.
If the issue persistre-register the .dll files by following the steps below and check if you are facing similar issue.
Dynamic link library (DLL) is a collection of small programs, which can be called upon when needed by the executable program (EXE) that is running. When one of the DLL file is corrupted, then executable program will fail to perform properly. So we need to re-register the DLL files.
a. Press Windows key + X and select Command Prompt(Admin).
b. At the command prompt, type the commands mentioned below and press Enter after each command-
regsvr32 ntdll.dll /s
regsvr32 msdxm.ocx /s
regsvr32 dxmasf.dll /s
regsvr32 wmp.dll /s
regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll /s
c. After registering DLL files restart the computer and check if the changes are effective.
