Calibre install failed
Calibre install fails near the end of install with the follow error message:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC90.CRT, version="9.0.21022.8",publicKeyT oken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86 ",type="win32"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. From what i can gather from searching online this seems to be some sort of issue with Microsoft .Net installation. I've tried several solution that i found elsewhere: uninstall all .Net then used the dotNetfix from microsoft used registry cleaners to get rid of possible registry conflicts one site posted a solution of renaming a system32 dll and then attempt to install the failing application None of these solution worked and the problem still persists. I'm running Windows 7 RC (all updates installed) on a eeePC 901. I am running as administrator when trying to install Calibre. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Note: I'm trying to install the newest version available on sourceforge 6.28 i also went back to i think 6.17 thinking that might solve the problem. I also tried the development portable apps version but i get the same error message when going through the start up process of the portable app. Last edited by lfcobra; 12-16-2009 at 10:09 PM.

just as an fyi, I had a problem with it also. I reinstalled it, and it seems to work better now. Would even be better if i had a clue what I was doing!

My install does not complete. Once the failure occurs the installation reverts all changes done to the system so the application doesnt even install. If i try to install again the same failure will occur. I've tried installing about 10 times. Its too bad because this application looks extremely useful.

I get the same error message when trying to install MSVC runtime except it identifies the error as "Error 1935". So obviously this is not a calibre issue. Hopefully I'll get something figured out as I'd really like to use this software.

Just thought I'd post a quick update about my issue. After doing further research on my problem I found out that it was going to be extremely difficult if not impossible to track down the specific issue which was causing my problem. Mainly because I didnt want to deal with the headaches i knew that would cause i just did a quick reinstall of windows 7 and then the first 3rd party app i installed was calibre and had no issues whatsoever. Have been using it for the past several days and have to say it is exactly what i had hoped for! Excellent way to organize and correctly tag all of my ebooks!
So i guess long story short, reinstall your OS if you cant install calibre? Thats horrible advice! Try to find an alternate solution but if this is the only one that works i promise calibre is worth it. |

Yeah the thing that most annoyed me about windows when I used to use it was how difficult it was to track down the cause of a problem. I used to often just give up and re-install.
