Notepad2 Update Released
April 19th, 2007
Florian Balmer has produced a 2.0 release for NotePad2. The zip download includes the executable but no installer so I have created an MSI installer (as I did before) which places the files in your Program Files folder and sets a registry setting which adds "Open with Notepad2" to the context menu in Windows Explorer as shown in the image on the right. You can run this installer without uninstalling the previous version. It will simply replace the existing version.
I place Notepad2 on every computer and server I use because it makes it so easy to edit configuration and source files.

And for those of you who use Ruby, you can get a Ruby-enabled version thanks to Scott Hanselman. He also summarizes his favorite new features on his blog.
Update: I noticed that when I installed this on another computer it was missing an assembly named msvcr70.dll. this is available from the NotePad2 main page. You can download it and place it in the same folder as NotePad2.exe to fix the problem.
Update 2: The installer now includes the assembly named msvcr70.dll which is required to run NotePad2.

Fortunately it is just a little bit of Javascript so far. With Intellisense and refactoring support I could just easily be doing this work in Notepad. (or Notepad2) [...]
