JohnnyWood 1 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I installed Evernote 4.5.2 on my Win XP Pro machine. Every time I run the program, the installation routine runs and then the program opens up. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? Thanks! Link to comment
JamesCE 5 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Nope... try a full uninstall from Control Panel and download and install Link to comment
JohnnyWood 1 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I did a full uninstall and reinstall. It does the same thing. When I run Evernote I get a message like "please wait while Windows configures Evernote". That takes about a minute or so. If I run it again it's fine. But when I run it after a reboot I get the config message again. Very annoying!Any ideas, anyone?? Link to comment

maxikk 17 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This type of behavior indicates that one or more components fail to install and every time Evernote is started via the "All Programs" shortcut or "on Windows start up" it tries to fix the installation and reinstall the missing components. Please, make sure that your antivirus or similar software do not block the installation. Link to comment
Ajay 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have the same problem and was wondering if there is a solution yet. (I am running Windows 7) Link to comment
VernonM 0 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Same problem with the 4.6.6 update! every and than it runs ok but usually it re-installs as it just did when I came on this site to make this report. Link to comment
jimschu 0 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have Evernote installed on 3 Computers, when I launch Evernote it does a short install on all 3 of them. Has to be an Evernote issue. Link to comment
jimschu 0 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Wow, how did I miss that one. I disabled my antivirus, ran Evernote, it installed (longer this time), I quit Evernote, restarted my antivirus, whala.....all is good now. This has bugged me for months, cant believe I overlooked the antivirus. FYI the antivirus I use is ESET, love ESET!!!! Link to comment
jschnur 4 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I have Win 7. I believe it was right after the last EN update that I needed to re-pin the Evernote shortcut to my taskbar. After that, EN would reinstall every time I opened it. So I unpinned Evernote from the taskbar and created a desktop shortcut instead. Then I dragged the desktop shortcut to the taskbar. This seems to have resolved the problem. Link to comment
BRETT_HAMAZING 0 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This happens to me on Windows 8 as well... By the way, voila is French for, "Here it is!" Just thought that might be helpful info... May the odds be ever in your favor Link to comment
kc108 1 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thank you Jschnur! I tried your method and it worked for me (running Win 7 too). Link to comment
galen 0 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, i'd like to revive this in public as something goes wrong with each update. Running Windows 8.1 Desktop application. since V.5.8.x each time i start the software it falls back into config mode. I contacted support about it and they managed somehow to solve it for V 5.8.3, since then a few updates came along and the error occurs again.What I've found out is that there has to be a desktop icon (which is rather annoying and bad programming in my opinion), which I let be since 5.8.3, but this does not do any good since 5.8.4 again. In case you think paying might solve the issue ... it does not... I have a premium account but this does not do any difference to using the normal account. I find it sad this fixed error has been overwritten/forgotten to be implemented by default. The support tries to do a lot with soothing the issue and sends out happiness forms to get whatever self satisfaction about having written a mail / replied to a user. What i wish for is a smoothly running software! I don't need to be pestered with ongoing updates and billions of features i have no use for.I would be content with the simple fact that my notes stay forever as was the inital idea of this or am I a wrong ?I want to use Evernote the same way on each device which seems not possible for whatever reasons (apple, android, windows,linux) Will that be possible (before there is a version 6.0)? Thank you. Link to comment
lpspinner33 3 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 This might be helpful - I use Zone Alarm and in program control I found the entry for Evernote Installation Package and marked it as "trusted". Voila, no reinstall when I started Evernote. On my corp laptop I don't have that control, so I plan to try uninstalling, and then running the installer as Administrator (an option when you right-click on the executable). Link to comment
toad007 0 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Put Evernote into the anti-virus exclusion. Fixed !! Link to comment
