anyone know the cause for this?
I suspect this may be related to a known issue regarding the fact that the Notepad++ binaries are not signed.
Please see this Thwack thread for a discussion on how to address the question of unsigned binaries with Configuration Manager.
[11:51am CT: Updated link with correct thread.]
The Package Description should contain a note if the binary is unsigned.
Earlier versions of Patch Manager will not succeed in downloading the content and works only from v1.85. Exclamation message with pop-up when downloading and publishing the content as the Notepad++ is not a digitally signed application. Refer : http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/4786/
I see a similar note in VLC Media Player.
