I updated my NppJSONViewer from 2.1.1 to 2.2
On starting NPP I got the error 'The procedure entry point "CreateFile2" could not be located in the dynamic link library "KERNEL32.dll."'
and NPP does not start at all.
On the second try the following error shows up:
"The specified procedure could not be found"
NPPJSONViewer.dll is not compatible with the current version of Notepad++.
After downgrading to 2.1.1 everything works fine again.
This happens on my old Win7 Computer that I still use locally for several tasks. Is there hope, that this can be explained/fixed or should I just stay with the old version.
Thanks for your help.
