=========================== True the program files can be transported to another machine but would not run on another machine. The question was not if Office on a memory stick could be run on any computer. Rather can the program be installed on a memory stick. I say yes it can, but will only run on the Windows system that the registry files will match the install. =========================== Correct. My error. I thought the original motivation to the original question, the question behind the question, if you will, was whether a memory stick could be used to allow the programs to be run on different computers. I was wrong. James S.
