Error when starting Calibre 0.7.39 on Windows 7 32bit

tamzilla · 01-14-2011, 05:24 PM

I just tried to upgrade Calibre 0.7.35 to 0.7.39 on my Windows 7 Professional 32bit machine. After the upgrade, Calibre won't run.

This is the error message:

"Python function terminated unexpectedly, source code not available (error code 1)."

I tried downloading it again, uninstalling Calibre, reinstalling 0.7.39 and still get the same error message.

I was able to download and install version 0.7.38 from Sourceforge and that version runs fine.

Anyone else have any trouble upgrading to 0.7.39?

Yep, it's crashing on my MacBook Pro as well. I'm going back to the last version until this is sorted out.

Same problem here on Windows 7 64-bit.

Same here, Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

kevinrs · 01-14-2011, 05:39 PM

ok, question would be is anyone on any system having calibre 0.7.39 run?

It won't start for me on OSX 10.5.8 either. :\

Broken in Ubuntu 10.04 x32.

Same here on Win7 - 64 Bit from calibre-0.7.38 to calibre-0.7.39.
Tried everything I could from everything that has been explained in the cloud and so far nothing has worked. What did work was to reinstall the old calibre-0.7.38 version.
Looking forward to an updated version.

It happened on my Win7 machine (32 bit) also. I'm sure glad someone mentioned it did the same thing on their mac... I won't even bother until the next version comes out.

I had to uninstall this one, then reinstall the previous version... all is well

JMikeD · 01-14-2011, 06:16 PM

Won’t load on MacBook with OS X 10.6.6. Went back to 0.7.38.

I was just about to upgrade ! Guess I will wait a day or two

Loosheesh · 01-14-2011, 06:28 PM

Same problem for me; running Windows 7 (64-bit).

I'll wait till tomorrow to see if there's a fix, else I'll have to go back to 0.7.38.

daesdaemar · 01-14-2011, 06:29 PM

Same problem here on Win 7 Pro 64 bit

mjsiniard · 01-14-2011, 06:32 PM

Same problem, Win 7 64bit. Now if I can find the previous version somewhere

reader7 · 01-14-2011, 06:35 PM

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie but have read comments here before. I have a 64bit win7 with same problem with 7.39. Any problems with calibre are usually fixed quickly so will wait til tomorrow.
