Uninstalled 32 bit Calibre - 64 bit now ng

[leswgnr]

I had both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions installed on my win7 computer and all was working good. The notes said both versions could coexist. I then uninstalled the 32 bit version and while the catalog look's good, I can't view any of my books, not sure where they are supposed to be but my user\calibre folder is empty. I am getting various other errors including can't find pylib.zip in the (x86) program files/calibre folder .

What's my best course of action? I have all the original ebooks and can start from scratch if needed but of course would rather not.

Thanks,
Les

An error about program files (x86) means that you are trying to run a 32bit version of calibre. I suggest uninstalling both and then installing the 64 bit version.

I'll do that, but does that mean that I have to both rebuild the database and have my ebooks copied into the calibre folder, essentially start over?

Well, since it's looking for 32 bit programs, thought I'd go the other route and reinstalling the 32 bit version. Afterwards, both the 32 & 64 bit versions work, and I can see where the bookd were stored. Both the catalog and all the books seem fine. BTW, where is the catalog stored so I may back it up?

So, at this point, if I uninstall both versions and reinstall the 64 bit version, is it likely that the catalog and books will remain as they are and accessable, and that I will not need to do anything else after the install?

Un installs never touch any Libraries
in addition, uninstall leaves behind all configuration settings and plugins.
