Can't see plugin manager

[Pedro10mmv]

Fresh new installment of Git Extensions with version 3.5.4.12724, but plugin manager doesn´t show up.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but I have PackageManager.UI inside C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\GitExtensions\UserPlugins\GitExtensions.PluginManager\PackageManager and the dll at C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\GitExtensions\UserPlugins\GitExtensions.PluginManager

I've seen other tickets with similar issues, but their solutions didn´t work for me.

Can you please confirm the version numbers for the files you have?
These must be:

Hi, seems like I have an older version of the .dll file from 2019. However even if I delete everything from the folder, when I install GitExtensions, this are the files that I get.

This is the issue. This file isn't what we ship in GitExtensions-3.5.4.12724-65f01f399.msi

I think 0.9 was before we integrated Plugin Manager into the Git Extensions install. It's from the time when you had to download a zip from GitHub and copy it manually.

@Pedro10mmv Can you please try to uninstall Git Extensions, delete UserPlugins folder an than install v3.5.4?

I have tried that multiple times. The way that I could fix it, was by getting the .dll sent by a colleague who had the right version.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi,

The way that I could fix it, was by getting the .dll sent by a colleague who had the right version.

just to clarify, did you add the new .dll to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\GitExtensions\UserPlugins\ ?
Because on my fresh Windows with a fresh GE 3.5.4.12724 install it also does not show up. Even though the correct (above mentioned) dll versions were installed.

I had to copy the GitExtensions.PluginManager folder to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\GitExtensions\Plugins\ to make it work.
Problem is, I now have to do that manually for every plugin I install with the PluginManager.
