Beginning with evernote V10.1.7,there is no “\” this symbol at the end of the evernote path that is stored in the system registry ,and Foxit Reader which is older than Version 11 cannot recognize the new evernote path.So Foxit Reader mistakenly think that there is no evernote installed in your system.For this situation,please do the following:
1:Hold down Win + R to open Run dialog. Enter regedit and tap on OK to open Registry Editor.
Open "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Evernote.exe",please help to change the value for the 'path' on the right pane from "C:\Users\xxxx\evernote-client" to "C:\Users\xxxx\evernote-client\ " (just add \ this symbol at the end) .
