Running WiTP of a memory stick

[rudbeck47]

Dear Forum,

Most likely this is not possible - however, if I donøt ask - I will not know the answer.

Is is possible to "install" WiTP on a memory stick (USB drive - whatever) and run it from there. The reason being that I would like to be able to play when I'm travelling with my work-computer (on which I'm not allowed to install serious games).

Thanks

I've done it with other games with no problems.

Mike Solli has done it... he used a program that leaves no traces on the host computer (i.e. no installation files, temp files, changes to the registry) so it is ideal for running it on machines that are "locked up tight"... you might ask him... i have the name of the program at home if you are interested.

Who said this was a "serious" game? I laugh every time I send my CV's out on a mission, forget to take my fighter off of training, and watch as they become Jap-made reefs[:D][:@][:D]

I just get a mental picture of my little digital guys saying:
Skipper: "We've got multiple bogies inbound!!"
CAG: That's swell but nobody's leaving the classroom until I get their homework!"
Japanese Flight leader: Looks like Admiral Dumba$$ is back!!!"
Admiral Dumba$$ (me): D'oh!![X(]

Japanese Flight leader: Looks like American are having a day off today Banzi!!!!"

It's possible.
I used it many times.
You just need to export one short line from registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MATRIX GAMES/WITP), save it as .reg file and click it before you start the game.
Sometimes you need to change "installed to" line, but that's all.

OK - with this program you supposedly do not need to install on the host computer*:

MojoPac by RingCube Technology.

*there are computers that are locked up for various reasons and you can't install anything on them... hopefully this gets around it.

Nope - but they never are ... anyway

Yep - but you can avoid the Network Admin's wrath by this route - since nothing is installed on the computer, they don't see anything... of course, you are still using the Network's electrons and all... [:-] [:'(]

[rtrapasso]

BTW - if you DO go this route, let me know... one person said he has gotten it to work, but i'd like to see if there are problems with the method if i am going to keep recommending it.

I am that network admin. I'm going to try this with WiTP and I'll let you know!
