So I more or less did what Tom said (details at the end for the record) for 64-bit Calibre 5.0.1 and everything looks fine. This keeps all the Start Menu and desktop shortcut(s) working. Then I copied everything from the Calibre subfolder of the "Calibre Portable" installation over to the Calibre2 folder. This warning could even be added to installer workflow.Īs for the specifics of my "installation", I renamed Calibre2 to Calibre2-4.22 in C:\Program Files. It seems more appropriate to allow the installation to proceed on Windows and simply state that support for Windows 7 is deprecated and perhaps that no testing is being done for Windows 7, or that the only testing on Windows 7 is via community feedback. But I object to the installer simply refusing to install on Windows 7 when there is no clear problem yet with running Calibre 5 on Windows 7.
And yes eventually Calibre will rely on a version of Python that doesn't run on Windows 7 or will have some other dependency that doesn't work on Windows 7. I don't think users should have any reasonable expectation that Calibre will be supported on Windows 7 indefinitely. I know Microsoft ended support for Windows 7. I can add books (only tested EPUB), I can edit metadata, I can edit books, I can export books, my virtual libraries work, and the e-book reader looks fine. It found my Calibre library in %USERPROFILE% \Documents\ Calibre.
