calibrePortable 4.1 doesn't work with new style configs
The folder "calibrePortable/Apps/DefaultData/library" is missing again so for new installs, "Next" is grayed out during setup on the library selection window.
Some of the settings/configuration files have been switched to JSON and some have seen path format changes (e.g. forward slash to backslash or double backslash) starting with 3.43/3.44. These changes haven't been reflected in 4.1's launcher.ini making this release not quite so portable.
I haven't tried any of the 3.43-4.0 releases so I don't know if this is just a regression or if it's never been updated to account for updates to Calibre.
