The article NULL DACL Behaviour in Windows Vista describes the same condition as happens to you, which happens when a file is created with empty DACLs (as distinct from null DACL which grants universal access). So my question is does anyone have any idea why self-updating 3rd party applications seem to break when they update, do you know how to fix it? I am almost to the point where I am just going to backup/reinstall the system but if I can avoid that for a couple months it would be nice. I have allowed memtest86 to run through several passes. I have booted from a livecd and ran badblocks -sn /dev/hd. I have now ran a chkdsk /f a couple times. Windows has updated itself several times and nothing seems to break after a Windows update. So far in addition to Evernote this includes Adobe Acrobat, iTunes, Mozilla Firefox, the pack version of Google Chrome, and VLC. The problem this seems to be happening for pretty much any and every program that wants to self update. If I completely uninstall Evernote, delete the program folder and install a clean copy everything starts working fine. Windows does not let me take ownership or replace the filesystem permission through the explorer interface. If I try to look at the permission through the filesystem I get weird errors about the filesystem permissions being screwed up (sorry I didn't write them down).
So the permissions are obviously screwed up.
Successfully processed 1 files Failed processing 0 files C:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\Evernote3.5>icacls Evernote.exeĮvernote.exe No permissions are set. If I use icacls to examine the permissions on the Evernote I see this. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. After the update was completed when I attempt to run Evernote I get the error message Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. I was given a UAC prompt and provided my administrator username and password and then upgrade appeared to be completed normally. It asked me if I wanted to download and update, which I agreed to. I was notified their was a pending update.
I normally use my computer while logged in as a limited account. I don't really have all that much installed on the system. I am running a relatively standard Windows 7 Professional 圆4 system. I have this unusual problem where applications will break if I allow their automatic update to run.
