I even installed the portable Calibre from your website and created a directory on an external hard drive with some ebooks in it to see if that made a difference. It didn't. I can only install and uninstall so many times before my head explodes.
I can't even find the Calibre temporary folder in Windows -- even after cutting & pasting the path in the last line of the error message. For the record, here's another of these frustrating messages I get a few seconds into these aborted conversions:
Spoiler:

I guess I'm resigned to using my old laptop with windows 7 and calibre 4.23 until I can find and correct the problem.
