Codeblocks asking for plugin
« on: July 03, 2017, 02:16:17 pm »
Hi there,
Recently I've downloaded Codeblocks 13.12 minGW version. Yesterday I opened codeblocks and I got a warning :
" One or more plugins were not loaded. List of failed plugins: ProjectOptionsManipulator.dll"
I tried downloading eclipse IDE, but it didn't work. I know that this is a dumb question but I don't know what to do :( Can someone please please please help me?
Thank you in andvance.

Edit: Added line below.
How to avoid the issue you are having.
1. Do NOT install Code::Blocks in a folder already containing Code::Blocks.
2. Before downgrading Code::Blocks to an old version of Code::Blocks remove all newer versions of Code::Blocks.

State why you want to use an old version of Code::Blocks!

Hi Tim,
Thank you for a quick response!
 I didn't install code::blocks in a folder already containing code::blocks. At first I downloaded codeblocks 16.01, but this version said that I don't have compilers. So Codeblocks 13.12 minGW version was the only one for me (as I assumed). Before downloading 13.12 version I deleted 16.01 version, so I don't know how I could install CodeBlocks in a folder already containing Codeblocks.
So right now I am confused and frustrated. Basically I don't know what to do next.

Uninstall CB 13.12; then, install CB 16.01 with an installer with MinGW in the installer filename.
