If it's so that i can see donate button, then it would be better to display that button on the same "update available" dialog


Maybe there is an automated (silent in the background) update in the future?

2. When started, installation wizard does "Computing space requirements" which takes about 30 !!! seconds on my AZUS UL30 laptop. Why so long? Is it really needed to know exactly to the byte how much space it will take? Calibre setup take (in my case) 125MB. Just check whether there is 500 MB available on disk. If yes then install, if not go through bit counting.

3. Updating restores Calibre icon on the desktop, which i delete every time.
1: What OS versions should it download. some of us run multiple OS or 32 bit on a 64 bit machine

2: Tell it to Billy G. It is a Windows thing . It is a LOT better than it was. The crew figured out how to avoid some of the 'checks'.

3: did you try the Custom install (button)? Adobe (and others)will ALWAYS trash your desktop on updates (and try to instal #$%^& toolbars).
It is one Delete after an update... Live with it
