Calibre 32 installed instead of 64

Rellwood · 07-17-2019, 05:43 PM

If I uninstall Calibre to update it to 64bit (accidentally updated it with 32 when I normally had 64) will I have to save the plugin in folder? Or will it all be saved?

No changes needed.
Both versions use the same settings. Both can be installed. They only need different Shortcut icons (and the installer labels the version icons)
Only rule: Only 1 instance of Calibre can be running at any time.

Thanks,

I remember having both on my computer at one time some time ago, and I remember the two icons.

If you use the default locations (as defined by Microsoft) for 32bit and 64bit applications, Program Files (X86) and Program Files respectively, then:

the 32bit and 64bit versions will by default install into those locations and you will have a calibre2 folder in both,
and you'll have two entries in Programs (Apps) and Features,
and, if you use them, I assume you'll have two desktop icons

If you have both installed and you don't need the 32bit, then remove it via the Windows Control Panel or Settings applets.

Oh, I don't have them both installed. This was from a long time ago, I remembered having two.

I actually am about to reinstall it now because I had uninstalled it earlier when I was having problems.

I am going to try the 3.45.2 that just came out.
