I suspect that may be a feature of the MS Installer. I don't know if its 'tweakable' by the application, but its not a bad idea otherwise you could shoot yourself in the foot by having multiple copies of the same software installed in different locations.
If you want something like that it would probably be better to download the source, build the executable, and impose your preferred configuration management regime.
But I'll stick my neck out to say - most users of calibre are not skilled in best-practice system configuration management techniques and disciplines.
