Installed (update existing) correctly and easily.
Now, multiple libraries...
I have a true portable (usb drive) install and a local portable (hard drive) install. I keep them synced. Why? Because for long sessions in calibre, running from the usb drive is too darn slow, so I generally use the local install. If I want to work from the desktop instead of the laptop, I just sync the USB install and plug it in over there. This has the side benefit of always having a recent backup of the entire install.
I had thought that it would now be using paths relative to the location calibre was running from but I see that's not the case because if I copy the installation from one of those locations (U:\) to the other (E:\), all libraries other than the default open from the first location (U:\).
I realize that making these library links truly relative would mess things up for folks using library locations elsewhere (network, for example) but the resulting compromise doesn't seem very... portable.
Edited to add: I do love the exe installer - it's much appreciated.
