Users do not have permissions to install anything there Additionally it looks impossible to disable automatic updates if plugin manager should work. There is a settings to disable updates by default, but it cannot forced and will try to update Notepad, too. There are cases open, but as you know the developers do not answer to anything on github nor do they fix their bugs. ![]() If you may install the native x64 version you may lose all custom installed plugins and your users will also get lot of error messages that plugins are incompatible. Aside of this serious issue - direct upgrades (GPO update mode) from previous MSI x86 setups to x64 setups is fully supported. There is no need to install the x64 version just because you are running a Windows in 64 bit. The x86 version will run absolutly fine on Windows 64 bit like in past. No worries. Wait until your plugins are available in native x64 first. Office Mui Msi .Dll Does NotIf you deployed Notepad 6.7.9 to 6.8.4 via MSI deployment in past - the file SciLexer.dll does not get automatically upgraded as there is no version change detected. The reason behind is the version of the SciLexer.dll was not increased (best practice) by the Notepad developer, but a digital signature was added in 6.9.1. MSI always compare file versions and if the version is the same the file is not replaced by MSI setups. Office Mui Msi Software Deployment GroupAs a workaround you can set the MSI package to Replace mode in the software deployment Group Policy. If deployment ran once successfully for all computers with replace mode, you can deploy future versions via update mode, until such a bug may get re-introduced by the Notepad maintainer again. See bugcase MSI setups fail to upgrade SciLexer.dll because of unchanged file version. Again you are only affected if you have deployed Notepad 6.7.9 to 6.8.4 MSI in past If you never deployed Notepad 6.7.9 to 6.8.4 you do not need to use Replace mode in AD deployment. Fixing this in the MSI seems very difficult and all tries to force-overwrite the file have failed. Office Mui Msi How To Make ThisIf you know WiX and how to make this happen send me an email, please.
