Thanks for the tip. Finally figured out my mistake.

I was using:

Code:

set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY = %CD%

instead of:

Code:

set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=%CD%

Yep, stupid spaces got me.

Tested the fixed batch file on three systems (two PCs w/o Calibre and one VM with Calibre already installed). It seems to work quite well. It didn't overwrite the config files in the native installation of Calibre which is a good thing. Oh well, I'm just happy it doesn't leave any traces in the host computer.

portablecalibre.bat

Code:

@echo off
cd config
set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=%cd%
cd..
cd calibre
calibre.exe --with-library  ..\calibre-db
exit

Thanks again for all the help and thanks for this wonderful program.
