The raison d'être for Calibre Portable is to enable the user to have their librar(y/ies), the calibre software and its attendant settings, plugins etc as a self contained package that can be put on a thumb or shirt pocket drive.
Ordinarily, there is little point is using Calibre Portable installed on a fixed disk, calibre keeps all of its settings etc in its configuration folder (%appdata%\calibre). The only entries in the registry are those required by the trusted installer.
BTW : I suggest you don't 'install' Calibre Portable (or any other portable application) in the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders - Windows regards those folders as its 'bailiwick', create a folder called something like PortablePrograms and put them in there.
If you really want to have Calibre Portable installed on your computer hard drive but you want the library elsewhere then put a symbolic link to the library inside the Calibre Portable folder. See
Quick Guide to Symbolic Links.
And just in case you're thinking of putting the library on a network drive or similar, you need to be aware of this ==>>
I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?
