Installation

Two things happened at about the same time on my computer.

I first installed a version of Calibre that switched from having a single library1.db file.

I upgraded my ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite from version 7 to version 8.

Every time I upgrade Calibre since the first time it converted my library1.db to separate files, it takes over an hour for the full installation routine to run!

I upgraded to 0.4.111 today. It took 66 minutes.

At first I thought it was because the installation kept finding my old library1.db file, and trying to convert it. But I zipped that up a full day before I reinstalled Calibre this last time.

Has anyone else notice their installation time increase? If so, are you also using ZoneAlarm?

The only other thing I could hazard a guess at is ZoneAlarm - that it's reviewing each of the executable files (and maybe dlls) before it's allowing them to be saved to the hard-drive.

It does tend to mean I only upgrade about once every 10 or so iterations of the software...
