ScanSnap setup software crashing evernote

[broskiier 3]

Hi,

I'm reinstalling Evernote on a new computer. As part of the process, I installed the ScanSnap software (as I have a ScanSnap that I have successfully been using for about 2 years).

Now, when I open Evernote, it prompts me with what seems to be a mandatory wizard that asks me to walk through my auto-file settings, asks me if I have a code for 1 year of free Evernote, and then says prompts me to "Get Started." The problem is, every time I press "Get Started" Evernote crashes, and then I'm back to square 1, with it forcing me to go through the Wizard. As of now, I basically can't use the Evernote client because I'm being forced through the wizard every time.

My question is: is there a way I can get Evernote to stop showing me the wizard?

Also worth noting:

- I was able to connect my computer to the Scanner and successfully walk through the wizard once, but then the next time I opened Evernote the wizard came back!

I'm having the exact same issue.  I'm guesstimating that it has something to do with trying to switch from the Mac App Store install from the Evernote direct version...

I'm having the same issue. I can no longer use Evernote because the "Mandatory" SnapScan installer blocks all other operations and completing the install crashes Evernote.

Hi.  Is this the Evernote Edition ScanSnap (EESS),  or the standard Fujitsu model?  Either way I'd suggest you uninstall / restart / reinstall the software to see whether you can jolt the app into running properly.  If that fails,  the EESS is supported by Evernote,  so contact support for more...

Here is the answer I got from Evernote support (upgrade to 6.6 beta, link posted below).
