Calibre won't start
After I upgraded to calibre 6.6.1 it won't start. Nothing happens. I downloaded again and chose repair but that did not help. When I ran calibre debug I got the following but none of this means anything to me. Should I uninstall and revert to 6.6.0? Or is there a better solution?
Thanks, David C:\Users\David>calibre-debug -g Python path configuration: PYTHONHOME = (not set) PYTHONPATH = (not set) program name = 'C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-debug.exe' isolated = 1 environment = 0 user site = 0 import site = 1 sys._base_executable = 'C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2\\calibre-debug.exe' sys.base_prefix = '' sys.base_exec_prefix = '' sys.platlibdir = 'lib' sys.executable = 'C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2\\calibre-debug.exe' sys.prefix = '' sys.exec_prefix = '' sys.path = [ ] Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding Python runtime state: core initialized Traceback (most recent call last): File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "bypy-importer.py", line 275, in exec_module File "bypy-importer.py", line 63, in get_module_code ValueError: bad marshal data (unknown type code) Extension modules: bypy_frozen_importer (total: 1) |

It indicates a corrupted install.
Uninstall, delete C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2 (or wherever you chose to install calibre). Then re-install. And dont worry, uninstalling will not affect your books/settings. |

You can also do a repair install. But before you do that, I suggest you download the installer again.

Thanks. Running the repair reinstall did not help. Then I uninstalled and installed the previous version. Now it runs fine. I will update to 6.6.1 when I am confident that if it fails again I will have the time to uninstall and backtrack.

Instead of going to 6.6.1 and if it doesn't work, going back, you'd be best to try to find out why 6.6.1 isn't working (that is if it doesn't work).
