At a guess I'd say your employer has put a block on users installing Windows run time components on the desktop/laptop that your trying to use Calibre on now.

They've probably run into problems with user installed 3rd party software creating problems with their Line Of Business application software. Similar to how Calibre has problems coexisting with Roboform and Watcom.

Try doing what theducks advises use the portable version.

It should be in the sub-directory of Windows Side by Side (winsxs) as defined by the manifest file in the Calibre2.Microsoft.VC90.CRT directory. But it won't be there if your employer has put a block on unauthorised users putting 'stuff' there.

System 32 is 'old hat', its there to support legacy software and lazy/amateur programmers. The transition to winsxs has been happening since Win 98.
