New windows build and installer - Page 2

itimpi · 10-10-2009, 12:29 PM

I get

Code:

'ebook-convert' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

which is the standard error message for a file that is not on the search path. Add the Calibre Install folder to the search path and it all works fine.

I can use the Advanced option to install calibre where I want, so it is not a huge issue.

The biggest concern is that the command line tools stopped working. Have you tested this on XP - it always possible that Vista or Windows 7 work OK as I have not tried them.

You do have to use the full path to the command line tools if you dont put the calibre directory into the path. The change is that with the previous build even using the full path, the command line tools would not work because they would fail to load DLLs, if the calibre directory was not in the PATH
