Successfully installed v 0.6.45 of Calibre
I chose to NOT automatically run it.
First run...
Error: Bad Database Location C:\eBooks
ERROR: Bad database location: Bad database location:C:\eBooks
Traceback (most recent call last):

OperationalError: no such index: series_idx
It then opens a directory browser window and asks "Choose a location for your ebook library." Default is C:\Documents and Settings\TuringSMI\Calibre Library
I opened a directory window on C:\eBooks and tried to delete the metadata.db file. It is in use by the calibre.exe process. I attempted to use the C:\eBooks directory again and received the same error. When I hit ok on the error, it closed Calibre.
I then removed the metadata.db file from C:\eBooks.
Started Calibre again and received a different error message.

DatabaseException: table authors already exists

Hit OK on the error message.
It prompted for the default location C:\Documents and Settings\TuringSMI\Calibre Library.
Hit OK on the prompt...
AND IT WORKED!
That had previously failed.
I now have a metadata.db in C:\...\Calibre Library and one book by John Schember.
I've no idea what made the difference. The program currently has a file handle on both of the metadata.db files.
Closed Calibre.
File handles were released.
Opened Calibre... clean start with one file handle on the metadata.db in C:\...\Calibre Library.
Thanks for the attention.... If you understand why it originally failed, post your thoughts. Others will benefit.
Cheers.
