I had already deleted that unpack directory in attempt to get installation to proceed. Now it's acting like it doesn't have write permissions.
If you've read this far and are curious you may want an update:
I fixed my install problem but not sure what was wrong:
1) I disabled Bitdefender and tried to install -- it still failed; it is unable to copy the .exe into my portable directory. The trojan/virus thought was, as Kovin and JS Wolf indicate, a false positive and not my issue.
2) I created a new directory and installed fresh into it with no problems, then I copied the portable .exe and the Calibre directory from it into the original Calibre directory. Runs fine.

So apparently I can copy files where the installer failed. Yet it was running under my account and should have had no problems. wonder why?
