Hello friends,
I am in the process of setting up my new system, during the program files setup I got this below error message. I have windows 7, 32 bit and 250 GB hard disk, 4GB RAM operating system. Simply I don’t understand what I have to do now? Please help me to fix this error. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

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.
