Thanks for that feedback. Interesting that the installer seemed to work for you - others have said that it seemed to hang on Windows 7 64-bit systems which was one of the drivers for producing the ZIP package.

At least it confirms to me that there is not a fundamental problem on the 64-bit systems (as I had hoped). One variable that is not in your system is using a network drive for the Library - hopefully someone will comment about that as well.

I hope you find the calibre2opds software useful. My prime use is using it with stanza for myself and a few friends. I only wish iBooks would also add an ability to use OPDS catalogs as that is my prefered reader on my iPad, and Lexcycle seem to be very slow to update Stanza so it is losing the lead it had over other eBook readers on Apple devices.
