I got the portable version downloaded and installed. However my version of Calibre doesn't have a button beside the "use internal viewer for:" But if I uncheck everything in the list below it, then follow the steps you give when I try to open an epub book at the right-click the eBook and Open With > Choose another app, all I can get is the following message: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
I can open the old ebook Viewer and use it to open an epub but I can't make it maintain the association. Every time I want to open that epub I have to use the Viewer to do it again.
Can we figure out how to make this association stick? I tried using the Control Panel and Default Programs but that won't work either.
