can't update
I recently tried to update Calibre 0.9.11 to 0.9.29 and after I downloaded the update file and tries to run it I got a message stating "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." I still have the file but can't open it. Can you help?

I apologize for the delay getting back. I've been involved in a family emergency but all is fine now.
I redownloaded the update and it worked like it should. BetterRed, I forgot the exact site I used but I have bookmarked the link you sent me so I will have it next time. Thanks! |

@Firestorm, glad we could help,
As a general rule I suggest its always best to download software from the producers site rather than from commercial download sites. Good Luck - BR |

Did you read the instructions on the Calibre download page for Linux?
