Hey cool. I actually tried the copying but it didn't work, hence my request.
I will try it again, maybe i did something wrong.
U3 (www.u3.com) is a way of installing software to a flash/u3 stick.
Everything is run from the stick and it will leave no traces on the pc you are using.
This is great for browsing and knowing your history is not copied onto the pc.
Another thing is that no temp-files are written to the pc, so you can do your work but people can't steal it when browsing the temp-folder.

Thx again

Hmmm, I just tried it over here on a USB stick, and it seemed to work fine for me. Make sure you copy everything including the subdirectories. And if you want to run it direct from the drive, don't zip it up or anything, just do a simple copy.

Also you can't actually run it on just any computer, the other computer has to be compatible with MoI, like it has to be Win2k or WinXP, DirectX9 on it, etc.. Like if you try to bring it to a Win98 machine that won't work.

Let me know if you still have problems after you try it again.

MoI doesn't really automatically create a bunch of temp files like a browser does. The only file that I can think of that MoI will automatically write to is moi.ini . But if you have put a moi.ini file on the USB stick, then it should write to that one so even that shouldn't write to the hard drive.

It won't be guaranteed to leave absolutely zero traces on the computer, because Windows itself will store some junk in the registry when you run a program (like the last directory that the open file dialog was using, etc..). But this will be extremely minimal.

Yup, I have no plan to change it.

The only thing that might be a little different with the official release is you may need to type in your license key type thingy the first time you run it somewhere, I haven't really figured out how that is going to work yet. But probably I can make some kind of .key file that you can copy with the .exe so you don't even have to do that though.
