Notpad++ Extension Errorduring the program files setup

Notepad++ is the best HEX editor in my view. I have been using Notepad++ for quite a long time and also faced the same error. This usually happens with the permission of Notepad++.

The first solution will be installing the latest Notepad++. Download Notepad++.

If this doesn’t fix the issue,

1. Find out Notepad++’s installation path along the file “notepad++.exe”

2. Right-click on the “notepad++.exe” >> go to “Properties” context menu.

3. Open “Compatibility” tab.

4. From “Privilege Level” section, check the box “Run this program as an administrator”.

5. Press “Apply” >> “OK”.

Now try the task again.

Also, open Notepad that comes with Windows by default. Copy and paste the following text and save it with a file extension .reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellOpenWithNotepad]

@="Edit with &Notepad++"

"icon"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe"

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellOpenWithNotepadCommand]

@=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe" "%1""

Double-click the file and select “Yes” if prompted. Ignore the warning message and say yes to save changes into registries.
