Install Calibre portable on USB stick
I just tried to set up calibre-portable on a USB memory stick on a computer running Windows XP. The USB drive was installed on the computer, and was accessible. I had copied files to the USB drive, and had set up the Calibre and Calibre2 folders.
I followed the instructions in the user's manual here http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual/portable.html When I got to this step: ◦Run the Calibre Windows installer: I got an error message that "Installation directory must be on a local hard drive"■Change the install location to be the Calibre2 folder on the USB drive Can anyone help? Thanks, Gary |

Not sure why the USB drive is not being recognised as a local drive!
Why not use the alternative way of getting the binaries across - install to the local hard drive and then copy across the calibre2 folder? |
