i was about to post a similar diagnosis but this put me off
"when I try to set up an empty library is crashes and closes"

the OPs post is unclear as to whether C crashes once he selects the E drive library or crashes before it gets that far.


he does not say but I wonder if he has restored some backup of his calibre config, that points to E:, so Calibre tries to go there immediately and gets a permissions error.

the obvious test is to completely remove calibre, and any associated folders from C drive, do a clean re-install, then try to create an empty library at the default location

then - IF he reports back - we'll have a better understanding. IF he doesn't, well it won't be the first time we've been time-wasted
