[Install]
- Push AndroidLogger.dll under "plugins\AndroidLogger" directory of Notepad++
- Push AndroidLogger.xml under "plugins\config" directory of Notepad++
N++ PluginAdmin doesn't support the distribution of the xml file to the "plugins\config" directory . If copied manually N++ starts again.
There seems to be an issue with N++ handling of plugin loading which contains lexer plugins. The input for the lexer seems to be searched at plugins\config<pluginname>.xml but if that fails the error popup is missing but fails with exception and also the fallback popup window seems to be not working.
That missing error message window issue needs further investigation.
