Wink Calibre portable exe

Hi there. I am relatively new to these forums and I hope I am at the right one.!

My question or rather said issue is the following. I have been using caliber portable because my pc's memory is overloaded...
I worked on my Calibre library downloading metadata two days in a row without any problems, but today I went to open it again but when I tried to open it on the Calibre portable file, the file calibre portable.exe was gone! After using it I am always careful to close it and afterwards eject the drive to protect the information.
Has anyone any idea how I can recover it?
This happened to me once before because of a mistake I made; my mouse is very unpredictable at times and without noticing it I dragged it and it was dropped "somewhere". The solution I did was reinstall by updating. Thus I recovered the exe file but the books were gone. I had a backup of the books themselves and "added" the books again, but all my metadata was gone. I started to download the metadata again, my library is extensive, and I was up to around 300 books, with a lot missing still, when today the exe file was gone again, for no known reason.
Can anybody help?
Calibre library is still there, complete, but I don't know how to
1.- recover the portable exe file, and
2.- how to integrate the library again to the exe function, without having to use it as an additional or secondary library.

I appreciate any help, since it has been very frustrating.
