In the past I've used successfully that tool in order to have Calibre run on Windows 8, and it would run without any issues. Not sure if this is still possible/advisable.
Even if you get Calibre 6 to install on Windows 8, it won't run because Qt6 is not compatible with Windows 8. That's on purpose by those maintaining Qt6.
