Is there a way to install the Ubuntu One app for Windows onto a memory card or flash-drive?

Edit: I want to do this because it would be handy to have U1 on my school laptop in order to keep all my documents synced etc. Sadly, I don't have administrative rights, so I can't install it onto the hard drive itself. Copying it over does not work since it requires that vcredist_x86.exe is installed, but as I said; I don't have admin privileges.

Can you edit your question to provide some rationale for wanting to do this? I'm a little worried that you're setting yourself up for some painful experiences. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Mar 13 '12 at 23:39

Ubuntu One must be installed into the OS in order to access the cloud. If you have Windows installed on a USB, then YES.

The personal cloud that brings your digital life together. For Windows XP, Vista and 7.

The installer doesn't do it, but everything you need to run it is in c:\program files(x86)\ubuntuone so it should not be terribly hard to do. If you succeed or need any help, please let me know!

Simply copying over the files doesn't work, just gives a load of errors. – Eirik Berg Mar 14 '12 at 6:08
It needs the vcredist_x86.exe installed in order to run, but the machine I'm trying to use it on isn't administrated by me and doesn't have this installed. :( – Eirik Berg Mar 14 '12 at 18:16
