Any path limit is an OS limit not calibre's limit.

Calibre installs in a sub-directory under the Program(x86) folder by default. It sounds like you are experiencing a problem on your system because calibre's installer isn't limited in the manner you discuss. Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator and try again.
