Some of the examples above are missing the space before “(x86)”.

Tried that but same result?
Do you have Admin rights? because that is the only thing I know that stops that basic command. You have no rights to be there (which also makes me curious on how you determined you had the 32bit version )
I would almost say MALWARE infestation

That won't work because you haven't told it what to do. You just typed in a path. You seem to be getting them wrong each time, or mixing them up.

Choose one method or the other

Copy and paste this...
"%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%"\Calibre2\calibre-debug.exe -g

OR

copy and paste this
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2
calibre-debug.exe -g
This one is two separate commands. Do the first one and then the second one.

Also, the forum seems to have a bug. It is introducing a space where one does not exist

It looks as if your calibre install is severely damaged. I show the following executable files in the calibre2 directory:

Spoiler:
Code:
calibre-complete.exe
calibre-customize.exe
calibre-debug.exe
calibre-parallel.exe
calibre-server.exe
calibre-smtp.exe
calibre.exe
calibredb.exe
ebook-convert.exe
ebook-device.exe
ebook-edit.exe
ebook-meta.exe
ebook-polish.exe
ebook-viewer.exe
fetch-ebook-metadata.exe
lrf2lrs.exe
lrfviewer.exe
lrs2lrf.exe
markdown-calibre.exe
web2disk.exe


I would suggest uninstalling calibre and then deleting the calibre2 directory. After that, I'd suggest installing the 64-bit edition and seeing if you get all the executables showing up.

If you use the Windows Add/Remove Programs to uninstall, this should not affect your configuration or library. Do not use a 3rd party uninstaller which often will remove your configuration and library.

No, that is wrong. It should be:

Code:
"%PROGRAMFILES% (x86)"\Calibre2\calibre-debug.exe -g

Perhaps try doing a copy and paste from here.
