Short version: When I try to start the Content server on Windows 10, I'm now getting this error message:

calibre, version 3.28.0
ERROR: Failed to start Content server: Could not start the Content server. Error:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Calibre2\\app\\imgsrc\\srv\\generate.py'

I started getting this error after I started the installation of a separate calibre development environment. The prod environment is in a separate folder & drive from my regular installation. I don't even have a batch file setup or running yet to switch between the two.

The thing is, this "app" folder doesn't exist directly under the Calibre2 folder. It should be Calibre2\imgsrc\...

Any suggestions on what I may be causing this and where to look?

--------------
Some futher details:

I've been running Calibre server for personal use on my local Windows 10 machine for a couple months and love it.
Last week I decided to start setting up a development environment to dabble with plugin development. So I cloned the calibre branch from github into a separate folder on my machine (actually, on a separate drive from my main calibre installation).
I was going through the instructions a step at a time from the "Setting up a development environment" calibre help pages, and got partly through the "Having separate “normal” and “development” calibre installs on the same computer" section on that page.
After having completed part of this, I am no longer able to run the Content server in my primary calibre environment. I'm getting the error I pasted above.
