NO, the installer installs all the other dependencies as needed.
Go here to get the correct version of the installer
http://calibre-ebook.com/download and save that file to the stick.

And that is the Wrong folder to copy for your library.
If your library is as big as you say, you will need a mighty big stick.

To find out where your library is, you can start the The Welcome Wizard and make a note of the path shown, then CANCEL.
To be safe: Quit Calibre (right click the tool tray icon and select Quit) all the way, Not just close the GUI.
Now copy the entire contents of the Libry folder to the Stick or ZIP the lot up and Burn it to a DVD (or spanned CD if either system does not support DVD)
