So i havent used my ereader in a few months, and as a result, I havent open calibre for awhile either. Today i opened calibre and it told me that there was a new version available and asked if i wanted to update. I clicked yes and it directed me to the website so that i could download the new calibre file.

After downloading i immediately started installing the new version (without uninstalling the my other version - vs 0.6.12) After the new installation had started, i noticed that the website says that if the old version is older than 0.6.17 to uninstall calibre, delete c:\program files\calibre and then install the new version.

When i saw this, i canceled the new installations, and then went to c:\program files\calibre and tried to run uninstall.exe but i got the following error:

Error in action ExecuteAction

Error in action UninstallSelectedFiles

please help i dont know how to proceed!!

FYI, i still have all my old calibre install files, could i try reinstalling 0.6.12 and then uninstall everything and delete c:\program files\calibre and then install 0.6.40?

thanks in advance

edit: i noticed on the calibre website that a suggestion is to run calibre-debug -g in the comand promt and post the results, so i did this:
