Hello,

I am glad to find MobileRead forums and possibly some help.

I read about DeDRM and wanted to give it a try. Today I downloaded DeDRM_tools_10.0.9.zip from here, unzipped the archive, and pointed the Load plugin from file function of Calibre 7.5.1 to the extracted file DeDRM_plugin.zip.

At this point, Calibre locks up. Killing the locked up Calibre process and restarting the application confirms that the plugin has not been installed.

I have tried reinstalling Calibre, and have whitelisted calibre.exe and DeDRM_plugin.zip in my antimalware app, to no avail. The problem continues.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Are there any possible workarounds? For example, is it somehow possible to manually install a plugin in Calibre without using the Load plugin from file feature?
