Sounds as if the installation file is corrupt. Empty your browser cache and try downloading it again.

@dayrae - I suspect your Windows is maybe not up to date or it's 'broken'. If you're interested in pursuing further then here are some things to try .
There were some problems with the Windows Install subsystem, about a year or more since, that were corrected. So make sure Windows is up to date. You could also do a System File Check And, after taking a System Restore Point, do a lightweight registry clean - I suggest Piriform's CCleaner. BR |

When running the wizard to install Calibre check Advanced and uncheck everything else except the program. That worked for with version 3.55 in win7 ultimate x64.

I rather doubt that the original poster has the slightest interest in your reply two years after asking the question.
