When I run evernote2onenote, I select an enex file, and I get the attached complete error. Some notes imply you need a certain version of OneNote. I am running on windows 10 and I have the application installed and also Office365. What do I need to do? Please Help.

I have the same issue, and get the same error message. Exactly the same, right down to the ...IID '{452AC71A-B655-4967-A208-A4CC39DD7949}' part, for example.

I have this OneNote version. It came as part of Office 2019.
Microsoft® OneNote® 2016 MSO (Version 2209 Build 16.0.15629.20152) 32-bit

If it matters, note also that I am not "signed in" to OneNote. I'm also not signed in to Office, I don't use OneDrive, and I log in to Windows 10 with a local account.

This looks like a duplicate of #30

For what it's worth, I'm getting the identical error message , even after installing the latest Evernote maintenance upgrade last week.

the target notebook name is taken from the enex file name. Make sure the filename does not have any special chars in it.

I have this exact same issue. Same exact error message. Using OneNote 2016. And my Evernote notebooks do have very short names with no special characters. The names are things like Blog, Books, Fitness, etc.

Please help. I am eager to get everything into OneNote.

Thanks!!!

same issue here with exact the same error message like above. Notebook name and filename contain only alphanumeric characters (e.g. Misc).
Any hints or hope to get this solved?
Thanks

On my side I worked around the issue by doing the convertion on a Win10 machine. That's working fine with the same enex files that fail on the Win11 machine.

After I repaired Microsoft 365 - en-us (completely via "Online Repair" option) on Windows 10, I then successfully imported the .ENEX files from Evernote to OneNote.
