Calibre Portable 5.7.2 is working just fine on my Win7 laptop. I had to upgrade to Win10 at work (and I hate it badly enough to start experimenting with Linux), so I go back and forth with my external harddrive with PortableApps. Since I also use DeDRM, I have the older version as well. I just renamed the older version from Calibre-Portable.exe to Calibre-Import.exe before I "installed" it to my external drive. They both show up in my PortableApps list just fine and I've had no trouble switching back and forth and sharing libraries between them.

When Win7 was removed from the supported list, I was having a few glitches in selections (I'd try to select a few stories and it would highlight everything on the page) but now that seems to have been resolved. I recommend trying the current portable version anyway - see if it'll work on yours.

I came by tonight because I was also trying to update O Mine Enemy, and got the 403 Forbidden. Test version works (on my Win7 laptop)
