• You can download the latest release from https://github.com/jglathe/xmltools/releases
• Create a folder XMLTools within Notepad++\Plugins (Typically C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins) and copy the XMLTools.dll there
• Restart Notepad ++. Now you should be able to see the XMLTools menu within the Plugins section

The modifications for ARM64 are in the jg/arm64 branch. Check this one out if you want to build it.

• Build with Visual Studio 2022 on an ARM machine, select "ARM64" as target. Cross-building will probably fail on the post-build event (copying the newly compiled XMLTools.dll to the plugins\XMLTools folder), or at the latest if you try to use it in notepad++. You can disable it, of course, and do the copying manually to the right target.
  • To make the copy process work notepad++ needs to be closed, and you need to have full access rights to the plugins\ directory.
• The target ARM64EC and ARM64X doesn't work yet, something odd with the #ifdefs in winnt.h
