"E_IO_cannot_open" (plus ADE crashes NON STOP) on one acsm.
Windows 10
ADE 4.5.11, 4.5.10, 4.5.7, 4.5.3
I borrowed a book from the library (pdf format). Impossible to download it: ADE crashes constantly and IF it downloads I get an error "E_IO_cannot_open". I successfully downloaded other books (epub and pdf) before and after that book.
Tried deleting the book before trying again, when I restart ADE (or it crashes :/) the book is still in the library, sometimes w/ no cover, sometimes w/ wrong cover, sometimes w/ right cover, usually multiple times.
I uninstalled ADE (4.5.11) and reinstalled: no change. Reverted to 4.5.10, then 4.5.7, then 4.5.3... still crashes constantly, won't delete the book, won't download the book. I made sure the user folder was not "read-only".
I successfully downloaded other books during the same session (although ADE crashed there too), both epub and pdf.
Bear in mind I have to switch to a different session on my computer which I created EXLUSIVELY for using ADE because it no longer works AT ALL on my main user profile (I just get a blank rectangle when I try to launch it, no library, nothing). Prior to that I had to delete the Adept registry key every single time I wanted to download a book.

This error has previously been reported over 50 times so far at least as far back as 2013:
Most reports have 0 answers. A few have been answered by other users. Suggested solutions include checking permissions and reverting to version 1.7.2. Seriously?? Adobe, is there any point to reporting bugs here at all??
