Thank you very much Adoby,
with your help I'm finally able to access Calibre on my web browser.
The first method with a task scheduler didn't work, I'vre tried every kind of different settings but I really believe it's impossible on WS2012E with this method.
However the second method with the vbs script did work, but i had to adjust slightly the file according to my needs. On my C: drive the path of calibre-server is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\calibre-server.exe" instead of strApp=chr(34)&"C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\calibre-server.exe"&chr(34) (there's no Calibre2 folder in C:\Program Files (x86) on my machine.
I still have a little problem though, with this method there's a CMD DOS windows that popups on my server (I can see it when I remotely connect to my server). So i've tried to adjust the script with "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe", it works too but I get the full calibre program window opened instead of the CDM DOS window. Do you know a way to prevent the program window to open?
And yes, I was using Admin account and tried disabling firewall and AV as well, thanks PeterT
