However this is the first time I have noticed that if I install it to a new folder, and call the new folder "Calibre test", when it unpacks all the files are contained inside a subfolder called "Calibre Portable". That's never happened before. Why would that happen?
The initial install of Calibre Portable has created a folder of that name for years, maybe forever. It can be changed, but best done immediately after installing. Subsequent installs can overwrite an existing install irrespective of the folder name.

All of these folders started life as Calibre Portable:

I just upgraded the Version 5 current folder from 5.16.1 to 5.32.0.
