[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?
Hmmm... When I look on my computer, there is an app directory in the Calibre2 directory which is in Program Files since I installed the 64 bit version of calibre. There is no generate.py file in that directory or subdirectories.

If you remove your development version, does calibre server start working again? If not, you might want to try uninstalling and then re-installing the main calibre instance.
