Weird Install

[MotoWolf 0]

After three unsuccessful installs of Evernote 10.2.4 on Windows 10 Pro (ver 10.0.19041) I finally succeeded. But it did not install in a Windows Program Files directory but in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Programs\evernote-client. What gives with the strange location and why the drama with the installation in the first place?

I've not gone near that yet,  so your guess...  but does it work?  You might be needing this at some point: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote

They changed from an all-users install to a per-user install. (Pretty sure it's so they can do silent updates without requiring admin access.) I just saw in another thread that they're working on an all-user install. (No idea why you had a problem installing. Of course, I haven't tried. You can pry v6 out of my cold dead hands!)

My sentiments...exactly!
