Uninstall, delete C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2
(or wherever you chose to install calibre). Then re-install. And dont worry, uninstalling will not affect your books/settings. |

I have multiple libraries. That won't affect that at all? Thanks.

No uninstalling does not touch any user data, only program files.

I got the same error when trying to install while a previous version of Calibre was still running. It worked fine when I tried a second time after closing Calibre.

I got the same error for the same reason upgrading to 5.33. Exiting had somehow failed; no taskbar button or system tray icon, but it was still present and running in the background. Had to kill the process.
