I'm still getting this problem and I have tried all the above!

Win 7 ultimate with Microsoft Security Essentials
- disabled UAC
- disabled MSE
- created a folder called c:\calibre and given it full control for all
- started calibre from a command prompt window as administrator and tried the --with-library option
The debug output shows

Starting up...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 215, in run
OperationalError: unable to open database file

Catastrophic failure initializing GUI, bailing out...
Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was: <no more output, just a C:\... prompt>

Every time the GUI shows a message with the u'c:\calibre format for the path. Somebody says that u' just means Unicode, but it looks like the seat of the problem to me!
