Forums
As always, if you have an issue, please post in the support forums so it can be seen and include the complete details requested: "include system details (OS version, 32 vs 64-bit, install path, new vs upgrade, etc)." There is a topic for this issue here: https://portableapps.com/node/62843
Please read and add additional details to that topic. As mentioned in the topic, it works fine for me here for both fresh installs and upgrades, so I need to figure out what calibre has an issue with on your machines.
