I have never seen this message before aand I don't know what it means, so I stopped the installation.
- I manually removed all traces of Calbre (Registry, folders)
- I ran a quick anti-virus scan
I downloaded Calibre again rom the same page ( https://calibre-ebook.com/download_windows64), attempted to install it and got the same error message ("The installer has insufficient privileges ...). Cancelled the installation.
Downloaded Calibre again, but this time from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_windows (so, I presume, it's 32 but?).
This version installed and loaded the Calibre Library without any problems.
I would appreciate any comments.
Thank you,

The file that could not be changed is the one that shows in the start menu as the link to start calibre. You could go to the directory "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\calibre 64bit - E-book Management\" (copy and paste the path into File Explorer's address bar and delete all the links in there. You'll probably be asked to give administrator priviledges to do this. I'm not sure why you got that message from running the calibre installer since, on my computer, it requests administrator rights as part of the install. Possibly the security on that folder has been modified?
For the most part, you won't notice much difference between the 32 and 64 bit calibre installs unless you start a task that needs a lot of memory (some ebook conversions on my laptop have gone over 12GB of RAM).
Looking at your Where results, I don't show calibre-eject.exe or calibre-launcher.dll in my install directory.
