Thanks so much for all the replies!
Here are the contents of the %appdata% e-var:

I tried launching the application with a parameter specifying the location of my calibre metadata.db file (I've used "foo\bar" in the example below; the actual dir is a Dropbox folder and you can safely assume that my actual command is correct). When I run each of the commands shown below, there are no error messages reported; however, nothing happens:
Quote:
F:\Calibre2Opds>javaw -cp OpdsOutput-2.3-SNAPSHOT.jar Gui G:\foo\bar\ebooks\
F:\Calibre2Opds>start javaw -cp OpdsOutput-2.3-SNAPSHOT.jar Gui G:\foo\bar\ebooks\

As for the CALIBRE2OPDS_CONFIG variable, I don't really understand what I would be doing with it. (I'm familiar with DOS environment vars and I know how to use them in BAT and CMD files, so don't worry about explaining that.) In the Wiki documentation, CALIBRE2OPDS_CONFIG points to a subdirectory of Calibre2Opds, called Calibre2OpdsConfig. This subdirectory does
not exist in my installation directory. I could create it, of course, but I don't know what files it should contain, nor what those files should contain. Am willing to do all of that manually (assuming that they're all text files that I can create with a text editor), but would need to know the details.
Appreciate your concern -- and I hope these problems are not specific to me but will help improve the software for everyone.
P.S. Will post to the GetSatisfaction board next time, but it seemed to make sense to continue this thread here.
