Unfortunately the new server is no good for me - it can't actually run as a server without the main app on Windows, and it doesn't work on Internet Explorer or Edge either.

The functionality seems extremely limited as well, so it can't replace the main client and as they can't run together I don't really get the point - it's made Calibre a single-user app with much lower non-technical usability.

My use case is simply running the app on Windows for me and my family to use locally, but with the server in the background serving OPDS and occasionally using the web pages to choose books remotely.

Is there somewhere to get the old Windows MSI installer for 2.85.1 so I can downgrade?
