<![CDATA[NotePad++ crashes using compare plus immediately after clicking compare]]>Hello, Just needing some help to see if anyone may know how I can solve this issue. I have used Notepad++ with the ComparePlus plugin for a couple years now but for some reason today when I try to compare 2 xml files everytime I click compare it crashes and closes. No error just closes. I tried removing all other plugins and also made sure both the plugin and notepad++ are up to date and the issue persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
