"FileNotFoundError" Calibre doesn't start

[LittleZombie]

Hello guys,

i wanted to start calibre today after maybe 3(?) weeks of not using it. But it didn't start. I tryed uninstalling and reinstalling it, but nothing changed. On reddit i read, that deleting the folders with calibre in /appdata/local and /appdata/roaming. I uninstalled calibre, did that, restarted the pc and than reinstall. Again nothing is happening.

calibre-debug -g gave me this message:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden: 'C:\\Users\\wolfg\\AppData\\Roaming\\calibre'

Why does calibre not creat this folders anew ? And how can I force it to do so?


Friendly greetings

That is the system call to create those folders that is failing. Make sure

C:\Users\wolfg\AppData\Roaming

exists and has correct permissions

The folder exist, but what permission for the folder do you mean? Every other program can write new folders in there. And if I manually create the missing folders it wants to acces the file "global-atomic-_h7f0zqn".
I am really clueless, but thanks for the quick reply
