I have taken ownership of Program Files and Calibre2 folder but still cannot do anything. I have given myself permission to access it but cannot access it. I created a new folder Calibre2Library in Program files but I cannot install to it either. Help. Thanks.
LIBRARIES (or user data) are NOT supposed to be in Program Files

Libraries are left INTACT when you uninstall Calibre
Preferences are Left INTACT when you uninstall Calibre

If you forced something weird (like forcing a Library into Program files, a Windows 3 security failing) in your earlier install, your preferences may be pointing to that.
Preferences are in %appdata%/calibre
Delete those, (NOTE: You will lose you previous SETTINGS and Plugins. Not your books)
