I have tried multiple times now to install Calibre on my desktop computer (Win XP Home SP3). I tried both versions 0.7.2 and 0.7.1, fully uninstalling each time before trying to reinstall from a clean download of the installer. Every time I get the following error:
ERROR: Bad database location
Here are the details:
ERROR: Bad database location: Bad database location u'E:/My Documents/Calibre Library'. calibre will now quit.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 183, in initialize_db_stage2
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 128, in __init__

OperationalError: trigger fkc_delete_on_authors already exists
It looks like the Calibre installer is inserting the letter "u" before the pathname, but maybe that's just how the error code generates.
I have admin rights on my system, I am the only user. I am about to give up on this software, but it has gotten such good reviews from others.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
