Rather than preventing Calibre installing and running on XP why not just display a Message warning about the problems and leave it up to the user to deal with any consequences?

I am using an old PC and have not upgraded because I will be going to live in the Philippines as soon as I have sold my house. When I have moved I will then buy myself a new PC. Packing and shipping a PC to the Philippines by Balikbayan box would be risky.
Kovid gave the definitive answer to this question in this post.
