But otherwise it looks the same, SYSTEM and Admins have Full Control and Users have Read.
The only use calibre makes of the registry relates to un-installing it, and probably reinstalling it. And that's done by the Trusted Installed program, not by calibre itself. I'm not sure what sequence things happen, but I suspect the files are copied first before the registry entries are updated. That Folders key appears to contain a 'composite' index of everything that Windows thinks is in the Program Files and Program Files (X86) folders.
FWIW I appear to have ~65+ values for calibre in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ins taller\Folders, the first and last entries are
Code:
Name: C:\Program Files\Calibre2\
Name: C:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\viewer\mathjax\jax\output\SVG\fonts\TeX\Typewriter\
The fact that calibre itself doesn't use the registry explains why the error is not causing any problems - be interesting to see what happens on next release install.
Re the icon - what you see is pretty much what you see for any MSI install that uses its 'Product Features' facility. What you select/deselect in there is permanent until you change it, so if in 6 months time you decide you'd like a desktop shortcut, you can change it at the next install - or in a Repair (I think).
