There's a new Beta3 now available. It should be safe! 6.18.3.8477. (The link in the initial post at the top of this thread has been updated)

That's expected. See my post (a couple) above.

Edit: Our upgrade path doesn't play nicely with MSI (Microsoft Installer).

The day I'm asked to do installer stuff will be the day I retire...

I did it for almost 3 years at another company. Driver installs too. (Funny thing, headhunter contacted me, my skills were a perfect match - for installers. Nope! Once was enough!)

A "new" version is available. This is a hotfix for the 6.17 GA. Because of our update versioning, this is seen as an update to the beta (because it was released later - yeah, I know. The architecture for that was set down a decade ago. Thankfully we rarely run into cases like this.).

If you're running Beta2 (or 3), the hotfix issue is already fixed, so you probably want to ignore the 6.17.7 release. (And because of MSI versioning, the installer itself knows this is a downgrade and will complain. Loudly. double sigh.)

Yes, that's beta3. Beta2 can be found at: http://cdn1.evernote.com/win6/prerelease/Evernote_6.18.2.8380.exe

Recommendation: Downgrade to Beta2. Seriously. (We're working on rolling back all the CEF changes that went into Beta3. I'll need a substance abuse program when this is done.)

We had to modify the CEF source to get DnD to do what we needed. (But the problem is deeper - rolling back all our changes still doesn't get things that should work working)

There are multiple DnD issues (honestly? Don't DnD). The "blank space" issue has been identified.

Updating CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework - the browser) is always a dreadful process. We updated between this beta and the last.

Sorry...

a blackout in my notes section of Evernote.

Use the Options dialog and disable hardware acceleration. There's no need to directly edit the registry for that anymore.

F10 will toggle it in and out.

Right now, the geocoding failure is expected. At some time in the past, the Google's API changed and now requires an API key (it's not free anymore). So any attempt to translate GPS coordinates to nice names will fail.

They won't show up in the list mode. You need to have your note list in card, snippet, or thumbnail mode.

I'm trying! I rant and rail when designers want the scroll bars to do that. Because saying I hate it is being far too kind!

I suspect we've never even considered users trying to use this as a clipboard format since it's really intended for internal purposes... First, the root element must be "en-clipboard" or we ignore it. I'd have to actually trace into the code to see how validation is expected to work...

Another thought: are you adding the clip as "ENML Format"?

That would be key. Different formats on the clipboard are handled differently. Just pasting ENML as text is not going to work.

The cookie is used to determine whether or not we pasted it. Which determines whether or not we need to validate it.

If there are no entries in the registry, you're running the Windows Store version of Evernote, not the direct download version. The store isolates the registry, so there is no way to directly edit registry entries applicable to the store version.

Click the 'Windows Desktop' link under the "Also available on" section.

FYI: We just got a Go and I was able to reproduce with 6.17.5 which is what downloaded from the store. And then, lo and behold!, today Windows Update kicked in and upgraded me to Version 1809, build 17763.316 - AND EN WORKS! (I also clicked 'check for updates' and saw a bios update happen)

The first message should be pretty obvious... The path to H: isn't there. The second one means you're on a network or removable drive. Highly not recommended because of how sqlite file locking works.

If you can't open EN (even the login screen is enough) to get to options, the database path is stored in the registry:

HKCU/Software/Evernote/Evernote/
EvernotePath="fullpath"

Evidently, the original MSI that gets cached in Windows\Installers must have been deleted. (Some "cleanup" tools do that - if those files are deleted, you can't uninstall those associated programs) You need to get the 6.11.2 installer and run a repair. You'll then be able to either uninstall or upgrade. (I would also clean up any files in "%TEMP%" just in case the bootstrapper is getting confused)

New CEF releases (which I'm pretty sure we had when this problem became more prevalent) are always fun. Especially since the hardware we have doesn't exhibit the issues all of you see...
