Error 1155 when viewing a CBR book

rob2000 · 09-13-2011, 01:53 PM

I am using calibre 8.18. I try to read in the viewer a .cbr file. I get an error 1155
Is it not possible to read a comic book on the viewer from calibre?

Posting the whole error message will make helping you way easier. There should be a handy copy to clipboard- button on the error message box.

Is this a legally purchased comic book or one downloaded illegally from the net? If it's not legally purchased, please don't ask for help with it.

This error:

WindowsError: [Error 1155] No application is associated with the specified file for this operation:

By default calibre is setup for an external application to read cbr files and you don't have any application set up on your computer to read cbr files.

Calibre preference between internal and external viewers is located under Preferences - behavior.

Keep in mind though that if you select calibre's viewer, it is an epub viewer at heart and any book will have to be converted to pseudo epub on the fly to be viewed in calibre's viewer.
