Open the subfolder npp. There is the used portable version of npp. Execute the notepad++.exe.

Ahh thank you. I think my Mistake was a different one.. I had a Window of npp already running when I was trying it.. So it just opened a new tab in my running npp. Now everything works

Is there Still a way to manually install it into an existing Notepad++ Installation? Id prefer it if I can use it with my Existing/Up to date Notepad++ Version?

Theoretically, it is possible. But the dependencies of npp, Hostlua, Keypad (virtual camera display & buttons) and chdkptp are complicated. This circumstance and the simplest possible installation is the reason why a portable version of npp is used.

@msl :  does the emulator support the new CHDK scripting header format for defining users parameters ?

  i.e. :
Code: [Select]
# interval          7      "Shot Interval (Sec)" { Burst Fast 2 3 4 5 10 15 20 30 45 60 90 120 180 240 300 }vs
Code: [Select]
@param     i Shot Interval (sec)
  @default i 7
  @values  i Burst Fast 2 3 4 5 10 15 20 30 45 60 90 120 180 240 300

Also, I keep getting a pop-up message box with title CHDK hostlua Keypad 0.4.3 and the message  CHDK hostlua project not found!.  I don't have chdkptp installed yet - could that be the problem?

Did you run the Config Script after unpacking the zip?

Yes, there is a example script (hostluaPortable/scripts/grid_viewer.lua) with the new script header. This script displays grid files. The header recognition is part of the hostlua script emu.lua.
Also, I keep getting a pop-up message box with title CHDK hostlua Keypad 0.4.3 and the message  CHDK hostlua project not found!.
keypad.exe will not work without the necessary dependencies. Use config.cmd for the first setup. For a later update you can use update.cmd.
I don't have chdkptp installed yet - could that be the problem?
No, chdkptp is included in the hostluaPortable zip file. After running config.cmd npp will find the right path. But there is also the possibility to specify the path to an existing chdkptp. chdkptp is only necessary for the communication with the camera (direct script test from npp or file up or download).

For more informations read the readme file. ;)

An addition: 1. cmd files are unable to detect blank characters in path information. 2. vbs scripts are used for the configuration. There could be safety warnings.

That explains why it did not accept the new format as hostlua is not being found.

I did that right away on installation - the readme file was quite clear that. No error messages so I assume it worked. No blanks in the path name either.

Windows10 shoots up a warning before execution is allowed but I told it to go ahead anyway.

That's what I thought. I don't have the DLL hack that allows chdkptp to actually communicate installed yet but I guess that should not matter.

Thanks ;)  I did that several times and it does not point to a solution.
