Hello harryray,

EmEditor v24.2 ends support for per-computer installations. Please uninstall the current version (per-computer) before installing the new version (per-user installation).

After you uninstall the old version, if you need to change the installation folder, please see FAQ: How do I change the install folder?

Alternatively, using the portable version can also help avoid problems. By default, the portable version creates INI files in the same folder as emeditor.exe to save settings. In the new version, settings can be saved to other folders by editing the eeUseIni.ini file located in the same folder as emeditor.exe. For example, if you change the eeUseIni.ini file as follows and save it in UTF-16LE (with BOM), the settings will be saved in the folder C:\Users\(username)\EmEditorSettings.

[IniDir]
IniDir=%UserProfile%\EmEditorSettings

This method allows all users to share the app while having their own settings, similar to installing EmEditor per computer.

I wrote about it in my blog: https://www.emeditor.com/emeditor-core/emeditor-v24-2-0-released-gpt-4o-as-default-model-disable-ai-completely-for-admin-favorites-features/
