@5STARS - not sure if this is appropriate to your situation but FWIW . . .

Another, and arguably simpler, way to give yourself a Calibre 'test bed' is to install Calibre Portable alongside your installed version (64 or 32 bit), it's self contained and won't interfere with the installed version.

Also if you normally use 64 bit, then you can also install 32 bit. In this instance they will use the same data (configuration and libraries). This can be useful for checking the behaviour of earlier versions - i.e. the "I'm sure this used to work" scenario
