Reaching back into my PC tech days, I think I can give you an answer on how to
do this. It DOES require hacking the registry so if you're not comfortable
doing that..... This will also muck up ANY system that already has Oracle
software installed on it. That being said .... Caveat Emptor
First get a clean system.
Install the Oracle client to the flash drive - remember the drive that you
installed it to.
Open regedit
Browse to HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
Right-click on the Oracle Key and select EXPORT
Give it a file name and save the file (to the flash drive for safe keeping).
When you plug the drive to a new system, map the flash drive to the same drive
that it was installed to and double-click the .reg file that was created in the
previous step.
That should do it. Again, this has potential to mess up any system that
currently has Oracle software on it. You hack the registry at your own risk.
I did a similar thing on a terminal server where we had German, French, English
and Spanish speaking people logging onto it with a need of using Discoverer 3.1
in their native language. Sometimes I miss those days. Sometimes, but mostly
not.

I suspect it is possible if you have a strong knowledge of windows, I suspect
it is possible to make sure that the thumb drive always gets assigned the same
drive letter, in which case you should be able to install the client once,
ensure it works, then export the required registry settings and path changes to
make it work. However, it would require a much better knowledge of windows
than I have currently. It might make an interesting project to figure out
exactly how to do it.
