Comment 8 for bug 1904310

I redownloaded the portable v5.5.

I installed it to a new directory on the desktop.

I run that instance and it starts with just the Quick Start Guide in the
library.

I delete that folder.

Rerun the installer to a new folder.

Copy those files over to my current calibre folder.

Overwrite files when asked.

Double click calibre-portable.exe and boom when it opens it creates the
calibre-portable.exe book.

is there a log file, a setting or something to look at to see what is
happening?
