Calibre Portable
I've followed the instructions on my home computer to set up a portable calibre using a usb drive. I created the Calibre2 folder by copying the existing calibre installation from my computer into a Calibre2 folder I established on my USB drive.
I then followed the other instructions. I thought I'd try it on my work computer to see if it worked but I'm getting this error: "Windows cannot find Calibre. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click start button." Any ideas of whats happening? Thanks |

That suggests that the batch file is not successfuly changing to the calibre2 folder berfore trying to launch calibre. Where is the batch file being starting from?

You know the funny thing happened, I went into the calibre2 folder and clicked on the calibre.exe file it asked me where my library was and opened up. So there is something going on with the .bat file.
Is it alright to just click on the calibre.exe file to start it? I guess it is not using my config file either. I didn't alter the .bat file. I just followed the instructions. Spoiler:
How do I correct the .bat file so it uses my setup? thanks |
