On my system the start menu items are in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\calibre 64bit - E-book Management

Still and all - the 32bit version should install on any Win7 system

@mikep32

I cannot think of any reason why the installer should not be able to write the start menu - did it create the folder - "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\calibre - E-book Management", if it did is there anything in it?

If it exists then I suggest you trash it - ie shift+del

Then perhaps you could you try this
  • First uninstall calibre, make sure the Calibre2 folder is gone from Program Files (X86), and have a look for C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\calibre if it exists trash it
    If you want to use an uninstaller like Revo or IOBit then that's your call, personally I don't like them but...
  • Then run the install again and click Advanced on the license popup (first attachment), click through the next popup (install location), and then on the Product Features popup, deselect Start Menu shortcuts (second attachment), hopefully that will get you to te end of the install
If so, then me or someone will tell you what shortcuts are normally put into that start menu folder.
