EmEditor Text Editor FAQs
I am using a previous version of EmEditor. Can I install a newer version of EmEditor without uninstalling the previous version?
If you have been using a version of EmEditor v3.00 or newer, and want to maintain the same configurations, you do not need to uninstall the previous version. You can install the newest version with the same destination folder. However, before you install the newer version, you should exit all EmEditor windows including the Tray Icon. If you are asked to restart Windows during the installation, you should restart Windows.
If you have been using a version of EmEditor older than v3.00, or don’t want to maintain the same configurations of EmEditor, we recommend uninstalling the previous version completely and rebooting the computer before installing the newer version of EmEditor. The steps are as follows:
1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the Start menu. Select the EmEditor (or EmEditor v3) from the Add or Remove Programs. Click the Delete button.
2. Reboot Windows when uninstalling is complete.
3. Install the new version.
Can both the old version of EmEditor and new version of EmEditor coexist on the same computer?
No. The old version of EmEditor and new version of EmEditor can’t coexist on the same computer.
What do I do if EmEditor crashes when starting or editing?
1. If you have plug-ins installed, remove all plug-ins from the plug-ins folder, and try running EmEditor again.
2. If the problem persists, select Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel to uninstall EmEditor. Reboot your PC, and reinstall EmEditor.
3. If EmEditor crashes only when opening UTF-8 or Unicode files, select Font under the View menu, select Normal from the Character set list, select the Change button beside the Display Font box and check if the proper font is selected.
How can I remove the EmEditor Tray Icon permanently?
Run the EmEditor installation again and make sure the Add the tray icon on the task bar check box is unchecked during the setup. This way you will not see the Tray Icon any more. You do not need to uninstall EmEditor before running the installation again. If this does not work, select Search from the Windows Start menu, and search for “emeditor.lnk”. This file should be located in the Startup folder. Delete this file to remove the tray icon permanently.
How can I install EmEditor without displaying dialog boxes?
During normal installation, dialog boxes will be displayed, and a user must click the “Next” button or set options. However, when you install EmEditor into multiple computers in corporate or group environments, you might want to use a batch or scripting file to automate the installation. EmEditor uses Windows Installer for installation, and the “quiet” installation is possible.
For instance, if the EmEditor installation file is emed64_20.9.0.msi, running the following command:
msiexec /i "(...path...)emed64_20.9.0.msi" /q MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1
