Big Mistake!! When I brought up the updated version of Calibre it immediately said that the path to the library was invalid and to choose another. It then came up with a message containing the word Python and the whole application shut down. I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the programme, each time running all the usual registry cleanups and deletions to no avail.
Is there anyone out there in the great yonder who can help? PLEASE!

Deleting the "Library" folder was a terrible idea
.
There is a
hidden calibre folder (there are also many others that belong to other programs) that contains your configurations. Exposing this to a Novice opens way too many opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot
The simplest route for a O/S novice
may be to simply (re-)create the
Library folder with the exact same name and location and see if Calibre recovers.
The way suggested by Pilotbob might be requires that open the
properties of the calibre shortcut and
add the suggested text to the command section.
