I just installed the 0.6.17 release and ebook-convert would not run at first. I then added the Calibre install directory to the PATH and it ran fine.

Kovid had said that the PATH should not need setting with the new Windows Installer introduced with the 0.6.17 release, but it appears that he was wrong, or there is something the installer it not yet doing correctly

Note that I used the Advanced option during installation so that I could control the Install locatation and set it back to C:\Progam Files\Calibre. The path if you use the default install is rather long.
