You'd probably have to "install" Money onto the flash drive on both systems.
The installer probably won't let you install to a removable media. If you go
around that, you'd have to assure both systems always mounted the flash drive
at the original drive letter when Money was "installed" on that system. And
on and on.

U3 is designed to do this for applications that implement their APIs.
Microsoft and Sandisk had announced an alliance to have Microsoft participate
in a "Windows supported" redesign of U3. This probably amounts to Microsoft
agreeing to "help" in order to smother the thing. Whether we will ever see
anything out of that alliance remains to be seen.

I can't see how this would work as the registry keys would be local to the
system where it was first installed. Of course, one could just install the
program on both and put the MNY file on the flash drive instead.

If you were really crafty and lucky you might be able to make this work. The
general answer is that Windows and Windows applications are not designed to
be used this way since the system has to know a lot about the application and
this knowledge is NOT stored where the application is stored.

Try it and let us know how you make out.

Hello,

I looked and could not find this answered - is it possible to install MS
Money Plus to a flash drive? I've gone from using my laptop to a desktop
computer at the office and would like to have the program to take with me.

I guess if all else fails i could install Money on the workstation PC at the
office and put the data files on the the flash drive, but this would not be
my first hcoice.
