It is totally unreasonable to drop the ability to install or update Calibre under Windows XP. There are hundreds of thousands of XP users that are not goin g to upgrade Windows from XP because of having to do a total install of every application on the new Windows.

XP support from Microsoft may have ended but XP is still a very good OS and will continue to be used into the future.

The Calibre team should figure out why the new version fails and fix the problem rather than abandon many thousands of loyal users that have stayed with Calibre all these years.
