Trouble installing Windows 7 ver 7.4
I'm having an issue with the installation of Calibre 7.4. This is a new install on Window 7 32-bit. It appears it's not seeing the correct rights for my user account. The installation gets to the point of creating folders and displays:
but if I use windows explorer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and create the folder its trying to create and come back and click on retry, I get instead: I've checked my rights on the folder and obviously I wouldn't be able to create it if i didn't have the rights. In fact here's the properties for that folder: At this point I'm stuck with the Firefox plugin because I can't use Calibre. By the way, this is a clean install of Windows 7, I previously had a version of Calibre installed on XP and that worked great...I just don't remember what version it was. -Fabio |

You could try right clicking the installer and selecting Run as administrator?
Either that or turn off User Account Control (UAC) because windows 7 will moan about access to c:\program files even when you are an administrator which I suspect your user account is not. Just for the record I run Calibre on Windows 7 and it installed just fine, but my account is an admin account. |

I thought there maybe a problem with my user account, so I tried logging in with the administrator account instead and I got the same issue. Also, I hate the UAC, so in my case it's already turned off.
