Can i install an entire software such as money 2006 on a external drive with none of it on the c. drive?

YES, depite what every else is saying, you can put most programs, like Money 2006, on an external drive and not have any files go to the C:/ drive. I have my games all on one drive and none of the install files are on C:/..





Good luck.





You cant put antivirus, spam and other programs like that on an external drive, but the specific program requires C:/ resources to run the program.

The comments above mine are accurate in stating that C: drive will get some files, specifically .dll and registry files. If you are simply asking about installing it on an external drive to free up C: drive, that is no problem! But if you plug in the drive to another PC it will be missing some relevent files that are on C: drive.





As for Money 2006...it integrates itself into windows and other ms office products, so this program is guaranteed to place files on C: drive
Reply:Almost. As most programs will add some entries into the registry and possible put a dll into the system32 folder, you usually only get 99% of it on the external drive. If you were to take that drive to a different PC and plug it in, the program probably would not work. They do that to keep you from pirating software by installing it on dozens of external drives.





But the only way to know for sure is to try it. Some do, and some don't.
Reply:No.....most application have to install some files to the c: drive, even if it is only to ur c:\windows directory. But you can install everything else to a portable drive and it will work perfectly, but only on that computer.
