Calibre Failes to start after upgrade

I've been using prevoius versions of Calibre with no problem. I have
Windows Vista Help Premium Service Pack 1. I upgrade to V0.4.112. I've
gone back to previous version that did work (4.86) and that now fails too.

After reading the FAQ I:
Deleted _python* and lib*.db1
Delete the Calibre dir
Deleted Books dir
Deleted any keys in RegEdit32
and re-installed still fails to start.

The Debug comes up with
c:\Program Files\calibre>.\calibre-debug -c "from calibre.gui2.main import main;
main()"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "debug.py", line 96, in <module>
File "debug.py", line 80, in main
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "c:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 1423, i
n main
File "c:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 74, in

Delete all the files in the folder that contains the file global.py and then restart calibre.

Calibre Failes to start after upgrade

Hi thanks for the very quick reply. I can't find a copy of global.py on the system. Calibre is installed in C:\program files\calibre

It should be somewhere under your user profile.

On my system (running XP) it is found under:
C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Calibre

Hi itimpi

Thanks for your reply put thet tother with Kovids suggestion and calibre started first time. Global.py was in
C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Roaming\calibre

Can't understand why a seach from my computer didn't pick it up (Thanks Vissta). Thankyou to both of you for this. I really like Calibre and have been blown away by the support on this forum
