Error when installing Calibre 2.0

gnvdk · 08-25-2014, 11:10 AM

I've been working with Calibre a long, long time, always updating when a new update came available, sometimes skipping one or max two versions. Today I tried to install version 2.0, upgrading from 1.47 and it gave me an error and refused to install the 2.0 version (1.47 remained intact). The error message was in Dutch (i'm using a Dutch windows Vista version and a Dutch translation of Calibre) saying: "sleutel is niet geldig voor gebruik in de opgegevn status" which is in English: " key is not valid to be use in the given state", or spmething like that. Anyone knows what's wrong?

Think I found a quicker work-around which worked for me:
- locate the directory in which the RSA files are stored. In Vista:
%appdata%\roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\<computerco de>, where <computercode> looks like "S-1-2-3-23-7826487236476-932385-982735987" in my case
- backup all files to a safe location then empty the directory
- install/upgrade Calibre. It now installs flawlessly. This creates a new file in the directory above
- copy all the original files back from the backup with exception of the newly created one (it has the same name)
- In calibre you'll have to point the database to the right directory.
All done!
