What, have peoples' library fail randomly after it exists? Errors in the installer are vastly preferable.

Anyway, what is with that path? Looks quite overly-complicated -- maybe the SyMenu developer could take a hint from the http://PortableApps.com people. Might I add that calibrePortable works perfectly with the PortableApps.com launcher.

P:\PortableApps\calibrePortable\App\Calibre <-- binaries
P:\PortableApps\calibrePortable\Data\library
P:\PortableApps\calibrePortable\Data\settings

The updater auto-unpacks Kovid's portable installer into the P:\PortableApps\calibrePortable\calibre-portable folder, then copies the right bits to the right places.
