Hi,

Because nobody want's to help I help myself. For our problem solution is in EvernoteSetup.log file. In mine I found following line:

Located product {0ED78DCC-01A9-11E1-B2F1-1CC1DEF07CBE} with upgrade code {AE2C091E-CF5F-4e30-8659-D640E23A8B99}.

Open regedit and search first 8 digits in reverse of the GUID for me it was E190C2EA.

I found 2 keys in registry in HKCRInstallerUpgradeCodes and HKLUSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstallerFolders exported them (for safety) and then delete. After this I've started Evernote instalation again and it worked.

Michal

Thank you Michal... this worked to me, too.

I went crazy for this...I'll tell U my solution:

the problem as everyone was about evernote.msi which coeldn't be found or accessed... so i located it in %temp% folder n' then i moved it on the desktop...lounching it from there everything went fine...cheers

I'll post my answer to a private message i got with i guide of what i did to solve the problem for everybody:

 

1. download regular evernote from website

2. run %temp% and delete everything in that folder (don't worry they are useless temporary files...some of them u won't be able to delete 'cause they are in use..it's ok)

3. run normal installation of evernote..don't worry about the errors n' go ahead

4. run %temp%

5. U will find in temp files evernote.msi plus 2 other blank files of evernote...move the 3 files on desktop

6. run evernote.msi from desktop n' voila'...nomore bootstrap error error...hope it works for everybody

 

ps... prior to this i had uninstall completely evernote n' cleaned the registry but i would still get the bootstrap error without doing the things above

 

cheers

I found a solution for this issue. Find the installation package for the version which is now installed on your computer. Install it again and then uninstall it.

Successful!

Good Luck!

This worked for me to install 5.8.8.

I ran into this as well - this tip: "E190C2EA" search and remove from registry

 

Solved it! Thanks for that tip.

This worked for me also.  I tried several other steps first, so I'm not sure if this step alone would have worked, but in the end it did.  Windows 7 OS.

Every time there is an update I "ALWAYS" find my self in this situation... I don't know maybe it is time for evernote to explain the hell out of it (it's probably not about evernote but the windows system).  if so I guess they should asked Microsoft itself what the hell is wrong with them. LOL
