It is possible to install MSDE in a USB memory key?

It is possible to install MSDE in a USB memory key?I think that should work, what I know is that the datafiles can be put
on the USB key. I always showed that example for presenting failover
and recovery functions :-)
HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.
|||Thanks Jens, but I want to "run" MSDE from a USB key (without installing
nothing in the PC). Is this possible?

|||This is really wacky, because the service and the registry will be
edited on the pc. But another thing would be to use a virtual pc on a
usb stick running Windows and MSDE. Not to say that this is very
performant but it works.
