======================================
Where a memory stick is treated by Windows as a disk drive, I see no reason
why any application could not be installed on the named logical disk [memory
stick] provide the application supports alternate placement..
======================================
That little thing called "The Registry".
Many programs exist in exe files. They don't need The Registry. Any
configuration information that needs to be saved from execution to
execution, or shared with other programs, are store in files, frequently
simple text files (e.g., ini files).
But if you allowed that, people would load the programs onto whatever is the
latest equivalent of a floppy, and carry that program around from computer
to computer using it. That could reduce sales.
The solution is simple. Develop ways to limit this behavior, to anchor the
program to a single machine. The requirement for The Registry is one such
technique.
