That suggests to me there is something in that XXXX directory that shouldn't be there. Maybe the old exe got infected on that computer after it was installed with a payload that's smart enough to attach itself to the replacement. I would have moved the library to YYYY and nuked XXXX

I don't normally run calibre portable so it was a clean install. To quote Thomas Huxley:
