Currently trying to get DeDRM working. When I click the configuration option "Kindle for Android ebooks" and choose a backup file, I get a message that says it cannot open it as a temp file is already running. The full error is:
Code:
calibre, version 7.5.1
ERROR: Cannot open file or folder as it is in use: <p>Could not open the file: "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpka_r7mog". It is already opened in the following programs:<div>The main calibre program: C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe

Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Users\\MyName\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmpka_r7mog'
Things I've done to remedy this:
- of course rebooting
- going into the Windows 10 environment variables. I tried both "user variables" and "system variables" clicking on New and setting the Variable to CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR and the Value to a different folder to hold temp files. (I rebooted after this as well)
- I also tried to change the temp folder by starting up calibre with a batch file, using the line
Code:
set CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR=D:\Software\calibre_temp\Temporary\Calibre\temp
None of this has worked. Not only has it not fixed the issue, it seems that my adjustments to the environment variables didn't do anything either. Calibre is still creating the troublesome files in C:\\Users\\MyName\\AppData\\Local\\Temp
I'm completely unsure how to move forward. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
