SOLVED: WAS UNABLE TO UPDATE WIN EN


Recommended Posts

 
Hello, EN Members:
 
Today for the 1st time... I was unable to update WIN EN with Evernote_6.16.4.8094.exe.
 
 
which led me to gazump's referral LINK ... who aptly referred to: 

Windows Error Code 2732 workarounds

 
I read the thread and decided to go with the simplest potential fix as discussed by gbarry's post from March 22, 2013:

Advanced Users/regedit option:

(We mean advanced.  For a detailed description and warning of what all is involved with regedits on Windows, see carehart's response below. For why we suggest this as a workaround in addition to a bit more detailed steps, see my post here.)
1. Open regedit (windows key + r, type regedit) and search (control + f) for the following:
 
4C8BBCC8-8363-11E2-A3F4-984BE15F174E
 
E190C2EAF5FC03E468956D042EA3B899
 
If you locate any of these, delete them and reboot, then install 4.6.4.
 
 
I am an ADVANCED Windows User... very comfortable in working with the WIN Registry... so I decided to search for the above REG entries.
 
Instead in REGEDIT, I used Registrar Registry Manager, which is much faster and feature robust... which found multiple entries of E190C2EAF5FC03E468956D042EA3B899... 
 
  • I created a Windows Restore Point
  • then I deleted the E190C2EAF5FC03E468956D042EA3B899 entry
  • then rebooted
  • then clicked on the Evernote_6.16.4.8094.exe file to test if this had solved the install update problem
  • then updated Windows Restore Point
 
Wallah!!! This 1st attempt worked without a hitch.
  • No message "specified account already exists"
  • No roll back of installation
 
 
I am grateful to Gbarry and gazumped for the benefit of this quick resolution!
 
Thank you... ~ Alan
