Hello, All:

I am trying to execute Calibre from a batch file so that I can use a command-line argument "--with-library <library name>". Here's my one-line batch file (StartCalibre.bat):

"Calibre Portable\calibre-portable" --with-library "My Main Calibre Library"

and the file structure:

Q:
|
+-- File: StartCalibre.bat
|
+-- Directory: Calibre Portable
| |
| +-- File Calibre-portable.exe
| +-- Directory Calibre Settings
| +-- Directory Calibre
| +-- Directory Calibre Library
|
+-- Directory: My Main Calibre Library
| |
| +-- Directory Book1
| |
| +-- Directory Bookn
|
+-- Directory: Other Libraries

Every time I execute this batch file in Command Prompt I get a Python function terminated unexpectedly [Error 5] Access is denied (Error Code: 1). If I execute it from an Admin Command Prompt, Calibre starts but ignores the --with-library part of the instruction.

Ultimately, I want to create a shortcut to the batch file and execute Calibre that way. When I attempt this ordinarily I get the Python error; when I execute it as admin, it simply does nothing!

I would appreciate any information any guidance any one could provide!
