Not a good idea. Too many OS and registry changes. Quicken is an application that must be installed through the OS.

If your needs are basic, you could do it with Quicken 8 for DOS. I still have that version on my system and had no problem copying to and running it from a thumb drive.

I use that too :-) "Quicken 8.0 - Rel. 7"

Ain't gonna work. Q, like any Windows based software will install some files on the boot drive and install registry changes.

Check out MojoPac -

The developers have created a clever method of handling apps that require files on the boot drive and changes to the registry. I have several apps running on a usb drive. All the required registry entries required by your app are made in the MojoPac environment on the usb drive. Give the free trial a try - makes no entries on your pc.

The only drawback is that with the present release of MojoPac, your apps will run only if the usb drive is plugged into a pc who is logged into someone with administrator rights. They claim next release will overcome this limitation.
