I need some help for Mobi2Mobi.

I downloaded and installed .NET Framework. No issues there.

The other files wouldn't extract, so I had to manually copy them to a folder.

After that, I open up the program - but as soon as I try to add an e-book, I get the following error.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks.

CS: You must be using the GUI version, instead of the Perl programs.  I'm afraid I haven't used the GUI.  I have a vague memory of some people having a problem with the GUI version.  The Perl stuff works fine, but you do have to install Perl.

But, the main problem is that you did not put an error message, so we can't guess where the problem lies.  At least, I cannot see any error message in your post.

Strange that the error msg pic didn't show up for you. Try this LINK

It looks like it is the internet filtering software that the company I work for uses.  I'll have to wait til I get home to see the message.

Have you tried the Perl version of Mobi2mobi?

Unless you crack it and defeat the DRM protection as tlrowley has suggested.

It's got nothing to do with DRM. As far as I know, you can't open any .prc file with MobiCreator.

Any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

I think I have the Perl version as well, but I have no clue how to run it.

OK, I finally got the GUI to execute, after installing the .NET framework, SP1 (what a pain - stupid Microsoft). Make sure that you get Service Pack 1 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en).

However, it gives error messages that seem to be ignorable. I didn't go ahead and put the file on my Kindle, though. From looking at the file with Mobipocket Reader, it doesn't look like it worked, with the errors. However, some people apparently have luck with the GUI. I have Windows XP.

I have been using the original Perl versions of the scripts, and they work just fine. See http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Mobi2Mobi_Vista/XP for more info. Sorry I'm not more help with the GUI version.

I just tried the Perl version, but I get this error message after I type in a command.

'mobi2mobi' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Does the Mobi Perl software need to be in the same directory as the e-books?

No you just need to set link the directory where pearl is to mobi2mobi.

Hmmmm... How do I do that?

Sorry for all of these questions, and thank you to everyone for their help so far.

That worked!!!

Thank you so much.

I think the trick is saving everything to the desktop. That's the only thing I didn't do before.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone, especially Shizu and Susan!
