2.3. Installing the latest version

You can always find the latest version of NppExec at https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/ - it is there among other Notepad++'es plugins.

The latest sources of NppExec can be found at https://github.com/d0vgan/nppexec/ .

Once you download the archive containing the latest "NppExec.dll" file, extract the content of this archive to your Notepad++'es Plugins subfolder (you may need to overwrite your existing NppExec's files with the latest ones). Also you may be interested in the documentation inside the archive as it always contains the latest information about NppExec's commands and variables, advanced options and changes.

If you are not sure about the "Notepad++'es Plugins subfolder", do the following:

1. locate the file "notepad++.exe" on your computer (usually it is located somewhere here: C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe);
2. go to the folder which contains the file "notepad++.exe" (e.g. C:\Program Files\Notepad++);
3. go to its subfolder "plugins" (e.g. C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins);
4. you are there! :)
