I am currently back with 4.23, which works. Several times I tried installing a version 5.x, but it won't start. I don't get any error message, just... no Calibre.
I found an old thread which suggested turning off virus protection, which I tried, it did not help. Also, deleting metadb.db, this file is not even on my computer, but there were some with similar names which I renamed. Did not help.
I would like to be able to run a newer version of Calibre, but I'm out of ideas.
Can someone help?
