Ah, problem solved!
Since the calibre-debug was easier to run, I tried it first. I got this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2>calibre-debug -g
Starting up...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\calibre\src\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 260, in initialize

self.initialize_db_stage2(db, None)

from calibre.utils.fonts import fontconfig
File "C:\calibre\src\calibre\utils\fonts\__init__.p y", line 16, in <module>
raise RuntimeError('Failed to load fontconfig with error:'+_fc_err)
RuntimeError: Failed to load fontconfig with error:No module named fontconfig
and then it hung the same way as before. Looking at the paths above, I realized it was seeing my old Python source. I renamed the directory, and now I get the GUI window. Thanks to everyone who helped.
One more problem (I hope): how do I specify my library to this new release? It shows only one book, the QuickStart one. I ran the wizard and it looks like somehow it took the empty directory I had specified before to it. I tried to set it back to the real library, but it insists that the directory should be empty! Is there a way around this?
