Cannot start wireless device connection

[bobbert1234]

When I try to start wireless device connection (for connection to calibre companion) I get:

Indexerror: list assignment out of range.

This has just begun to happen ofter over a year with no trouble. I have tired repairing the install but this did not help. I have tried disabling firewall and antivirus, again no luck.

Does anybody have a suggestion? I incluse a more detailed error message below.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This was fixed around 12 hours after the original calibre 1.39 was released. Download and install calibre 1.39 again and you will be fine.

Many thanks for this swift response, I really appreciate it.

Because the installer version number had not changed I (falsely) assume that I could use the installer I had saved locally.

A small hiccup like this really brings home to me what a valuable part of my life Calibre and Calibre Companion are.

Thanks once again for all your fine work

I just started getting this exact same error on v1.40.0. Can't remember if I've used the wireless device connection since upgrading to 1.40.0 or not.

Spoiler:

Is there a similar "just re-download 1.40.0 and re-install" known solution?

EDIT: Never mind. I'm an idiot. I'm apparently still using the "bad" 1.39.0 version on this PC.
