I just had to edit the calibre shortcut in the Start Menu Program directory, and set it to "run as administrator".
Thanks everybody for the support!

P.S. Feel so foolish now >.<
May we ask 'with what rights is your user account set' ? I can see Admin rights needed to install (at least for 'All Users'), but should not be needed to RUN
