I am an administrator.

Using a new empty directory C:\eBooks

ERROR: Bad database location: Bad database location:C:\eBooks

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\ui.py", line 472, in __init__
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 460, in __init__
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 447, in connect

DatabaseException: table authors already exists

OperationalError: table authors already exists

It does create a 64k metadata.db in the C:\eBooks directory.

I did get a prompt for a new version... I will upgrade by removing completely, then install the new and see if that helps. I do remember an issue on the install, but I believe it was the table already exists error.

I'll let you know the results.

Cheers.
