@Maria Loranger - something seems to be wrong with permissions, did you reboot after uninstalling calibre 64 bit, cleaning registry etc?
You could try this:

For the most part, you won't notice much difference between the 32 and 64 bit calibre installs unless you start a task that needs a lot of memory (some ebook conversions on my laptop have gone over 12GB of RAM). Looking at your Where results, I don't show calibre-eject.exe or calibre-launcher.dll in my install directory. Last edited by DNSB; 07-14-2018 at 09:27 PM. |

W10 added a extra level of security in a recent update and blocks any program that has not obtained 'approval' (which is not free ). Instead of clicking exit (or whatever it really says), there is a (sneaky) 'advanced' link on the Left at the same level. That is where you can whitelist Calibre. Hint: there is afairly recent MR post somewhere that has the images of the screen that I can't quickly put a link to. |

Thanks for posting those screen shots. (I add new stuff so rarely, that it may be months before I would see that screen.
And, Yes, I agree with your diagnosis. Something is wrong with rights or permissions. A locked down, Corporate Computer? |

... and it's not only the rights and permission thing (what for me was the main problem).
I wonder also about the two files in the calibre folder that have nothing to do there, especially to what was written before about clean-up:
It's a little bit frustrating. Sorry to say, but resolving an installation problem can't work in that way. And this is the root cause: There was activities around the installation we wasn't told about during our Q&A activities. We are missing answers of our questions (like what permissions have the used user account). Don't manipulate an existing installation without telling us first (because how should someone help if the reported problems are not in line with the installation we was told before?) Each additional request from our side was ending in a new situation on the system. Knowing the hole story is essential for helping and will save a lot of time too. The best way to help is to start by zero again and not to play around with anything else.
Tell us also if the installation reports a successful installation. Then you can go forward with testing and having fun with your installation. Last edited by Divingduck; 07-16-2018 at 08:19 AM. |
