Notepad++ Plugins
Compare, XML Tools

Notepad++ is a great tool for editing Text and XML files.  There will be a few that we will have to modify when creating our WinPE 4 Boot Image.

• Run the Notepad++ Installer from +WinPE Downloads\Notepad++
• Installer Language (your call)
• [OK]
• Welcome to the Notepad++ vX.X.X Setup
• [Next]
• License Agreement
• [I Agree]
• Choose Install Location
• [Next]
• Choose Components
• [Next]
• Choose Components (seems repetitive)
• [Next]
• Completing the Notepad++ vX.X.X Setup
• [Finish]

By this time, Notepad++ should have opened.  Now we have some minor configuration to do to get it running for us

• From the File Menu, choose Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager
• Plugin Manager
• Check Compare
• Check XML Tools
• [Install]
• Plugin Manager (Popup Window)
• [Yes] to restart Notepad++

You should now have Compare and XML Tools installed as Plugins

• From the File Menu, choose Settings > Preferences...
• On the MISC. tab, uncheck "Remember current session for next launch"
• [Close]

This completes the software installations :)
