does the clean portable version work ?

@Andrew-Rózsa What version of Notepad ++ was before the upgrade to the latest version?

Andrew Rózsa

@Meta-Chuh

Yes. It did.

@andrecool-68

Sorry. Don’t know. This is a new computer.

Meta Chuh

@Andrew-Rózsa

Yes. It did.

great.

btw: we would have needed the debug information from your installed version, as the portable version works.
my apologies, if i caused confusion by having more than one possible notepad++ debug information at the same time, and not clearly specifying which one is of relevance.

but if you have a regular 7.7 x64 install, and the portable version works, an uninstall and clean reinstall of your installed version should do the job:

make sure you have saved all documents, closed notepad++, and you don’t need any specific settings or customisations you have made at your currently installed notepad++.
uninstall your existing notepad++ from the windows control panel > programs and features or the windows settings > apps > apps & features list.
open %ProgramFiles% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Notepad++, if it still exists.
open %ProgramFiles(x86)% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Notepad++, if it exists from an older 32 bit version.
open %AppData% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Notepad++, if it still exists.
open %LocalAppData% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Don_HO_don.h@free.fr, if it exists.
open %ProgramData% in windows explorer, and delete the folder Notepad++, if it exists.
download the npp.7.7.Installer.x64.exe from >>> here <<< and install it.
make sure you select all your desired options when installing.
then re-install the dspellcheck plugin the same way you did with the portable version, and retry spell check highlighting on any document, or new tab, by deliberately creating misspelled words.

best regards.

Unfortunately this is due to changes in Scintilla which require updating of the plugin. I hope to do it in next couple of days.

Here’s related issue:

Here’s my post to make other plugin authors aware of the change:

@Meta-Chuh

I did a reinstall, but I didn’t reboot after the uninstall. I will go “clean” and remove all reference from the Registry, if I find any.

I am grateful for your help.

@Predelnik

I will install an earlier version, or the 32-bit.

Thank you for your hard work.
