Hi @pentago , I am using this with the latest dev version 3144 without any issues. Have you tried reinstalling sublime or rerunning the script? Kind reminder, make sure you execute the batch script as admin. Please let us know what steps you took.

Also happening with me on a recently reinstalled Windows.

- Sublime Text 3.0, build 3143 (the "portable version", available at the download page) - Windows 1709, build 16299.19

As it seems this project is unmaintained, you may check this alternative I found, @pentago, it is working fine until now : https://www.binaryfortress.com/NotepadReplacer/

Install Visual Studio 2010 (VC++ 10.0) SP1 both x64 & x86 to fix it.

This problem happen if you upgrade Sublime when offered a new version when you open it.

The way sublime upgrade work is by deleting everything in the folder and replacing it with the new version. In the process the launcher is lost.

the launcher work by changing something in the registry to tell windows to open the launcher instead when invoking notepad.exe

because the launcher is no longer there it will fail.

You just need to extract the launcher int the folder again or download the new version and upgrade by running the installer. Both will keep the launcher working.
