Anyone attempt to install "The Sky" on a flash drive?

I've got a 2gig flash drive, and would be interested if anyone had
tried that yet. That way you could take your programs with you, and
just plug in anywhere.


TheSky is dependent on all sorts of Registry entries, and on shared
libraries found in several paths outside the Program Files hierarchy. In
short, it needs to be properly installed, not just run.

You could haul your catalog data, user preferences, and customized
documents around on a flash drive, but probably not the program itself.
