As of today's release of Calibre (Ver 2.1) the program will no longer install or
run on Windows XP.
Apparently, the author of Calibre has determined the book editing features of
Calibre, which rely upon a development tool called QT 5, conflict with XP,
causing the application to crash.
See:
"Prevent calibre from installing or running on Windows XP as there
have been many reports of Qt 5 crashing on Windows XP and Windows XP
is now no longer supported by Microsoft. If you are on Windows XP,
please stay with calibre 1.48 until you are ready to upgrade your
windows.":
