Work with external drive on any computer

[DJAdamWes]

Hi people, can anybody tell me if it's possible to run a program on an external hard disk ?
Exemple : I copy the owl folder in program files and drag it to another folder on the external disk. Will my program work on another computer ? It's a music producing program.
In fact, I would take the owl folder(C:/Program Files/FLStudio) in "program files", drag it to the external disk(1TO), drag all my sounds and VST's too, and this way be able to make music on any computer that doesn't have the program installed.
Possible ??

Thank you

it would work but only on that computer, when you first installed it puts files and shit hidden all over the place

Thanks,
Last time I cleaned my desktop computer, I transfered my "Fruity loops" folder like I mentionned, and dragged it on the other computer's desktop, and everything worked fine, I could open the program, work in it, save projects..
And I did this with DiabloII too...
And everything works good !!
That's why I'm confused..

No, it won't work. You need to install the program on the PC for it to work. You can't just copy the Program Files folder and expect it to work, doesn't work like that.
