11:40 local time I aborted this operation.
I have a file >> EDDSystem.sqlite that is a bit over 1,000,000 KB which I think is the "missing" file.

Is there some reason why EDD portable isn't seeing this file??
Shut down and re-started the computer about 11:50 local time. Restarted EDD about 12 midnight using the SHIFT key again to set it to the folder where the file was located.
Gave up and went to bed about 2AM with the program setting at
