Yes; I haven't tried uninstalling first though, just a "repair" installation.

My initial installation was 32-bit. I had the problem I described, so installed the inept suite 1.0 - same problem. I assume the suite contains the 32-bit version?

It sure feels like there's probably an easy fix, albeit difficult to find.

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

I'm ignorant of everything Python and I've been unable to track this error message down in Google as I usually do, so I'm stumped. I haven't found something even close to this error message in this forum either. I'm assuming this is a Windows issue?

I also get the same error message when trying to run both ineptepub or ineptpdf

The problem is the 'Data Execution Prevention (DEP)' mechanism. Disable it for python*.exe or disable it globally (excluding windows services).

Ok, first let me apolgize for being a dumbass.

I got a Kindle for Fathers day. Seems good so far. Problem is I have several B&N gift cards that now I don't need. So, straight to the web to find out if I can convert. Several hours of reading and downloading later, and I am still a dumbass.

So

Downloaded Adobe Digital Editions
Downloaded Python 2.6
Downloaded Pycripto
Double clicked on ineptkey.pyw and recieved an adeptkey

Then it says to run ineptepub.pyw When I do (doubleclick) I just get the script page opening. Nothing else.

I know I am not doing this right, but for whatever reason I am not able to get past this to even get to the error messages that some of you are getting.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I guess you used the B&N gift cards to buy ebooks from B&N, right? However, ineptepub.pyw is not for B&N ebooks, unfortunately. And B&N ebooks are not necessarily ePub books. But if they are, there is a ignobleepub.pyw that you can use, together with ignoblekey.pyw or ignoblekeygen.pyw.

dwest · 06-21-2010, 09:30 PM

Ok, I downloaded those.

I have them in a folder along with the .epub file I want to work on.

I double click on ignoblekey and nothing happens.

Again, sorry for being a dumbass on this stuff.

Its icon should be the yellow and blue python icon. If not, then probably it is still a .txt file. This usually means that Windows is hiding "known extensions", which makes changing the extension from .txt to .pyw difficult. In the folder, click on Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> UNCHECK Hide extensions for known filetypes. I suggest applying this to all folders, but for this purpose you just need to see filetypes in this folder. Then double click on the script and select rename. You should now see ".txt" which needs to be .pyw.

Hi, guys -

I'm trying to do this on a Mac. I've managed to find a Mac-specific version of the ineptkey script, and it generated the adeptkey.der file, which is in the same folder as the scripts I've downloaded. Now when I run the ineptpub script, I get the following syntax error:

SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get this script to work? Thanks very much!

Rob

Ok, files are yellow and blue and say python file (no console)

I double click, and I don't get anything.

Looks like Python is ok, but make sure it is version 2.6. Have you installed PyCrypto? This is also needed.

dwest · 06-22-2010, 07:25 AM

Yes, Pycrypto installed.

Don't get anything when doubleclicking.

I am sure I am just missing something simple.

ineptpub should be ineptepub. I assume that is a typo.
If you get a syntax error probably the script hasn't been saved properly. Does it give you a line number? It could be for example that the line endings are not good (CR LF instead of only LF).

Anything special that needs to be done to strip chapters.ca kobo ebooks? Pretty simple to do B&N epubs, but it seems that some books I'd like to buy are cheaper @ Chapters.

I haven't tried the chapters.ca books, but normal Kobo books follow the standard ADE method.

No joy. I installed the inept suite on my laptop though with immediate success. It has a much more spare Win7 install with very few background apps.
