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. 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.
