Change the Windows Explorer settings to allow to show hidden and system files and folders. Then if you have Windows 7 or Vista, go to
Code:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\

I have Windows XP and I have it set to show all files and that file is no where to be found on my HD.

In Windows XP it should be in
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data

Okay, found it! When I was doing a search, I was searching under user, and I must I've only installed it under my Documents and Settings. It's found in C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Barnes & Noble\BNDesktopReader\ClientAPI

Your "ClientAPI.db" doesn't use underscores, so you should replace
Code:
dbpath = glob.glob(os.path.join(bndir, 'ClientAPI_*.db'))
with
Code:
dbpath = glob.glob(os.path.join(bndir, 'ClientAPI*.db'))
(remove underscore) as mentioned above.

Now it's showing this error- "B&N User Key not found. Unexpected DB format?" error.

Okay, I had read that you have to get rid of your client api key, and then open up Barnes and Noble reader and re enter your info:

you can either find and delete your 'ClientAPI_v012.db' file then re-authorize BDReader with your account information,
or just use the key-derivation script (ignoblekeygen).

Both ignoblekey and ignoblekeygen will produce the same output when they work correctly.
and I did that, and still nothing works. Now I bought the book with my B&N gift card, so what do I enter into the name box, because I've tried my user name, my real name, my credit card, my gift card, and the error I keep getting is "key cannot be the null string" whenever I put the key in, the drm book and save it under the name I want.

Where did you need to do this? I deleted ClientAPI.db, but all the nook desktop reader needed was my B&N account email and password, Which did not fix the problem. What version of the desktop reader are you using?

I'm having this exact issue, using Nook For PC 2.5.2.458.

Just for fun, I found the Barnes and Noble Desktop Reader 2.1.0.2 as well, no go.

So I ran the key generator script, full name as on the card and number. Key was generated, but I get a "Error: Key cannot be the null string" -- If I open the bnepubkey.b64 file, it's a line of stuff, so I don't think it's null.

I did make the appropriate script edits to find the database for the two desktop reader key extraction attempts.

Any ideas?
