Since there is next to NO support for this software anywhere, I thought I would share the fruits of the last hour of working. Coworker brought in their PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) that whenever they tried to launch Overdrive Media Console, they’d get a Runtime C++ error. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t work, but oddly, the software would run under another account.

Solution makes me want to kill MS, or Overdrive, or someone. Anyway, there was a temp file in /Users/UserName/AppData/Roaming/OverDrive/Media Console.

Obviously if the software isn’t running, there shouldn’t be any 0KB temp files. Deleting it fixed the problem. Guessing the software crashed at some point, and didn’t clean up after itself on the next attempted (and thereafter) launch.
