- Download notepad++ and install it.
- Go to resources from the notepad++ website and check the directory of plugins available for it or click here plugin directory.
- Download the XML Tools plugin and follow the directions on the directory page for installing it.
- Now you should be able to see the XML Tools in the Plugins menu of notepad++. If you click the "How to Use" link in the menu you will be promoted that your missing libxml/libxslt and you need to download it. It also provides links but this is where I got confused because the links, one does not work and the other does not have the correct files or at least I was unable to figure them out.
- Now you need to download a file called ext_lib.zip and unzip it. You need to put the unzipped .dll files in the root directory of notepad++ which should be something like "C:\Program Files\Notepad++".
- Restart notepad++ and you'll be able to see the full menu.
- Enjoy!

Notepad++ and XMLTools Setup
I had a need to check an XML file at work and was looking for a tool. I found out that notepad++ can do this but it requires you to install the xml tools plugin which is not included by default. I looked around for a while and eventually found directions to set this up but think it should not have been this hard to typing this up in hopes that it helps someone in need.
