Thanks again, td.
I'm running Win 7 Pro x64. Didn't know Calibre had a 64bit version. As mentioned at the download page, I guess I'll be ok if I try to install x64 after uninstalling x32, since they use the same plugins and settings? Quote:

@adrenaline Go ahead with the 64bit uninstall/install. Its as good as gold on Win7, although some have had problems on Win8 - but as td says the two can coexist.

Thanks again, BR
I just uninstalled, restarted my PC and tried to install Calibre x64 but I get the message that setup wasn't able to complete ![]() ![]() Any ideas? I uninstalled a bunch of stuff yesterday, like ghostscript, etc.. But I'm not sure if that has to do with these errors.. ps: If I decide to do a fresh OS install, should I copy those 2 folders (C:\Users\Selva\Documents\Calibre Library and C:\Users\Selva\AppData\Roaming\calibre) from my backup, before beginning to install Calibre? Thanks again for helping me out, guys.. Greatly appreciate it. Last edited by adrenaline; 05-25-2013 at 03:00 AM. |

It looks as one of the uninstalls took something with it that it "shouldn't" have done, maybe by unregistering a system dll.
First thing to try is System File Checker http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 You should not need to reinstall windows, you should be able to do a "repair" if sfc doesn't work - you'll need the installation media. BR Addenda - I just uninstalled, downloaded and installed a fresh 64bit on my Win 7 system - no problems at all. Last edited by BetterRed; 05-25-2013 at 04:09 AM. |

Yeah, I guess so. I was using Revo Uninstaller and Your Uninstaller to "clean" uninstall everything!..
![]() Thanks a lot, BR. I'm trying SFC right now. Hopefully, it works. If not, I'll try Windows repair.. Yeah, I have the disc. |

Yeah, those uninstallers have been known to create more problems than they prevent, especially on Vista. They had some value 10-15 years ago - today, I'm not so sure. I stopped using Revo when I converted to Win 7 in early 2009 - then I decided it was something I could live without so I never installed the Win 7 compatible version.

So sorry for the delay, BR. Lesson learnt! Would never use those things again
![]() SFC didn't help, so I'm backing up my data in case 'Repair' screws up anything. If I'm forced to do a fresh OS install, should I copy those 2 folders (C:\Users\Selva\Documents\Calibre Library and C:\Users\Selva\AppData\Roaming\calibre) from my backup, before beginning to install Calibre? If not, could you guys please advise what would be the right way to get Calibre up and running with my existing book collection? Thanks so very much for your time and comments.. |

You might want to read this article about Win7′s no-reformat, nondestructive reinstall.
It is located at the following: https://windowssecrets.com/newslette...ive-reinstall/ Good luck. Ron |

I also would receive a similar error as the OP when my Windows Installer was screwed up. I had to reinstall the OS on my fairly new computer at the time.

Thanks Mcafee and Jersysman!
Yeah, I'm leaning towards a reinstall ![]() Sorry to keep pestering and this would be my last question: Once I successfully reinstall Win 7, should I copy those 2 folders (C:\Users\Selva\Documents\Calibre Library and C:\Users\Selva\AppData\Roaming\calibre) from my backup, before beginning to install Calibre? Or can I move them once Calibre is installed? If not, could you guys please advise what would be the right way to get Calibre up and running with my existing book collection (once the reinstall is done).. Thanks a ton everyone for your time..

Thanks so much everyone. After reinstalling, I was able to get Calibre up and running with my collection. As you guys recommended, I just moved the library to the usual location.
