But now, access to the directory "Calibre2" is denied: I need rights (which ones is not declared). Of course, I'm administrator and have verified this. But nothing helps.
Someone who could give some advice? - gratefully appreciated!

Edit: Also install of a former Calibre version doesn't work.
Obviously you don't get it. Avira is messing with Calibre and your computer. It's garbage. Uninstall it and delete any traces of it. Just run Windows Security. That's all you need to do.

Edit: Hm, strange. Now, I de-activated Avira once more, re-started the computer, making sure that Avira is still de-activated, and re-installed Calibre. This time it worked. No idea what had happened.
It worked because Avira is not running. just get rid of it. Avira is blocking access to the Calibre directory and Calibre. It is taking over. Uninstall it forever.
