Trouble Updating Calibre
I've been having a bit of trouble updating Calibre lately.
At some point in the install it gives me this message (and I get the smallest dialog box when I click OK): I then have no choice but to click Cancel, at which point I get this message: When Calibre launches, it does show it to be at the latest update, though. This started some (4 or 5; can't remember exactly) updates ago; no idea why this is happening. Any thoughts? |

Is this Win 8?
32 or 64 bit (the file name prompt makes me think 32bit) |

That's the first thought that occurred to me. I had a problem where the calibre update before the very last one was seeing my library as corrupt and was unable to reconstruct it. I rebooted windows and everything was fine. Win 8 does some weird things sometimes.

Note I said Force, I don't think you can install Portable (BTW 32bit only) in Programs without a BIG hammer Use the control panel to uninstall Calibre (32) and Calibre-64 Delete any residue left in Program files and/or Program files (x86) (no calibre2 folder). The Library should NEVER have been in that path (default is in you Users/<username> |

That empty icon is a clue that something is far in left field. |

Regarding the empty icon, I received the same message trying to uninstall it as I did trying to install the latest update. I eventually had to download the 'calibre-1.36.0' file it kept insisting on. After that, it uninstalled with no problems. Weird. |

Use it long enough and you just get used to things like this. I have been updating Calibe (on multiple OS) since 2010 and have had very few burps of the nasty (the ones where you lose settings) kind. Any time I damaged the Library, the finger correctly pointed to... ME Backups are still advised |
