Angry Calibre Won't Run

Calibre has stopped working. Trying to run it generates this error:

Python function terminated unexpectedly.
(2, 'No such file or directory') (Error Code: 1)

I uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled it.
Downloaded the newest version .6.24.
Rebooted, unistalled, rebooted, reinstalled.
Cleaned registry, rebooted, uninstalled, etc blah and so forth.
Tried feeding it bananas.

Nothing works.

I am using WinXP, SP3. Nothing about my system has changed in terms of running programs, so I am throwing myself on the mercy of this forum and hope someone can help.

I'd suggest cleaning out you calibre config files. Should be somewhere in C:\Documents and Settings\your user\

Hi I'm also having the same problem just purchased a new desktop and loaded the new calibre version and i keep gettin this message:

Bad Database location:C:\Users\Emma\Calibre Library

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 443, in __init__
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 427, in __init__
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 487, in upgrade_version_2
File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 171, in run
DatabaseException: no such trigger: fkc_delete_books_authors_link
RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 142, in run
OperationalError: no such trigger: fkc_delete_books_authors_link

Then i get this message

Python function terminated unexpectedly
no such trigger: fkc_delete_books_author_link
RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 142, in run
OperationalError: no such trigger:
fkc_delete_books_authors_link (Error Code:1)

Then calibre shuts down. Ive tried uninstalling, restarting, and reinstalling to no avail. Not sure whats wrong.

You database seems to be corrupted. Locate the file metadata.db and delete it. Then start calibre.

Ah you have the infamous missing nul file problem. nul is a special windows file that must be available on all windows installs. If it's not, it indicates a corrupted install.

Erm, where do I get the missing nul file from? nuls R Us? I've installed it around seven times now, so if it's still corrupted, not much I can do about it.
