Wacom Setup Wizard opens every time I turn on my tablet

[hx1234]

Hi,

The Setup Wizard is independant of the Wacom Desktop Center and started automatically evrytime when a new tablet is plugged in and even without tablet driver installed - as far as I know that is done by some part of tablet firmware.

This isn't how peripheral hardware should work. Are you suggesting the tablet can execute code on the host machine without having drivers installed? That sounds pretty un-kosher to me.

If another tablet is attached, it does not fit to the installed information

Are you suggesting this behaviour is normal? The software seems to be designed to accommodate multiple devices, so this would surprise me.

try to attach both tablets together once and go through the process.

I can't do that, since they live in different towns, and I travel by motorbike. Furthermore I don't think that's a reasonable debugging measure to be undertaken by an end-user.

Can you please suggest to your developers that they reproduce this problem by alternating devices as I do, so that a fix can be released.

Thank you!

I note the moderator has not replied in over three weeks.

Will this issue be addressed, or is this an acceptable problem in your view?

I have this same problem with a classroom of 25 iMacs running Sierra. It does not effect every Mac in the classroom, but is very annoying.

So far I have removed the driver per Epson instructions and reinstalled the latest version, v6.3.28-2, and also replicated the same behavior in a test user account.

If I run the set up wizard and make sure "AutoStart" is disabled under Wacom Desktop Center>AutoStart, when the affected Macs are restarted the Wacom Desktop Center opens up along with the Setup Wizard again. On some Macs, it is only the Wacom Desktop Center that starts up. I need to get this resolved.

Yesterday I contact Epson and they say the case has been escalated and someone will contact me today. I will report back when I have a solution or update.

We have not been able to reproduce the issue, it is possible, that some third party software interferes. If the Autostart setting for Wacom Desktop Center has no effect and WDC ist still starting, rename the program in the 'Wacom Tablet' applications folder.

Wacom Tier 2 support never contacted me the next day like they said they would to investigate my issue. However, I was able to remedy the issue by performing a work-around that I saw in another post. I renamed the Wacom Desktop Center app to something else. For me, I renamed it to Wacom Desktop Center App. Now the Wacom Desktop Center app does not open every time that the Mac restarts.

This isn't an acceptable solution, but it's all I have until I call back in and ask Wacom to help me AGAIN.

Likewise.

Agreed.

Im having the same issue.

Every time I start up my Mac, Wacom Desktop Center and the setup wizard open themselves.

AutoStart is OFF in the Wacom Desktop Centre menu
I have completed the setup wizard at least half a dozen times

Mac OS 10.12.6
Wacom Intuos Pro L
Driver 6.3.28-2

I'm only using one tablet on this Mac, and I'm only using this tablet on one Mac
(I was previously using an Intuous 3, but I uninstalled the drivers and restated the Mac before installing the Intuous Pro L)

Since we cannot reproduce this problem, we need more information: Perhaps it is related to some other software on the Mac (Epson ?), perhaps it is a permission issue. Can you try to create a new admin user and install and use the tablet as this user ? Can you send a system overview to our support ?

If the Wacom Desktop Center Autostarts when it shouldn't, rename the application to something else.

Wacom driver updated to 6.3.29-6 and now the issue has gone away
