dsteele1 0 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Has anyone noticed a major change in the location of the Evernote PC "Evernote.exe" and related files from C:\Program Files (x86) to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Apps\Evernote\Evernote\... I noticed this change since the last update Evernote_6.9.6.6729... why the change????? Messed up all my setting for "Send To Evernote" and and my Printer Scan to Evernote setup... Link to comment
Ex Employees Austin G 527 Posted February 15, 2018 Ex Employees Share Posted February 15, 2018 @dsteele1 Thanks for the report. An update to 6.9.6 should not have triggered a change in the location of the .exe. I opened a ticket so we can investigate this further. Please check your inbox and reply when you can. Thanks!

dsteele1 0 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 What is the default install location supposed to be???? I may have installed the Microsoft's own Evernote App at some point... would that have any impact on the installation location?? Link to comment

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\Evernote\Evernote.exe" is the default location for our Direct download. "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Evernote.Evernote_[version#]\VFS\Evernote.exe" is the default location for the Microsoft Windows Store version of the app. (MWS) Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,664 Posted February 16, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just so you know - I'm also on 6.9.6 (updated as normal) and the files are in Program Files (x86) as expected. Link to comment
dsteele1 0 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have 4 Windows 10 PCs; Notice this Notebook that has the previous version and then updated on 2-15 to latest version... note new location of the app !!!!! What the %^!@#$%!!!! Noticed that Evernote 6.9.6.6729 would not startup so I had to make new shortcuts and put them in "Startup" folder... never had this problem before. Link to comment
dsteele1 0 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Looks like 2 out of 4 Windows 10 PCs updated and kept the correct file location: 14:36:26 [INFO ] [15624] [15620] Command line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\Evernote\Evernote.exe" /Hide 14:36:26 [INFO ] [15624] [15620] Evernote for Windows 6.9.6.6729 (306729) Public 14:36:26 [INFO ] [15624] [15620] Client info: Evernote Windows/306729 (en-US, DDL); Windows/10.0.0 (Win64); The other 2 put them into a completely new folder... no reason why????

dsteele1 0 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Looks like it was a Folder Permissions problem... why it originally was in its correct folder and it couldn't write to the same folder is beyond me. Changed the permissions to the Programs Folder (x86) and uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it works fine. Database is in its correct folder now also. Link to comment
