Is it possible to install Visual Studio on an externa HD?

[adamjohnson]

Hi all,
I am asking this because I think it could a useful thing for everybody.

It could be interesting to know (if possible) how to install a Visual Studio 2005 on an extarnal HD, so that I can bring it up and just connecting it on a new computer I can start to keep working as I was doing on my home computer....

I know that there are lap tops for that purpose but I think that an Ext HD is cheaper and than it could be useful and easier to carry out.

Is there somebody that knows it?

Thanks,

You can install VS to an external hard drive, but you're not going to be able to move that hard drive to another computer and expect to be able to run VS. The reason is that VS makes changes to the registry on the machine on which it was installed. Those registry entries won't exist on another machine.

What you can do is:
Install VS on both machines. Place your project directory on the external HD. Then you can move the HD and open your project from whichever machine the HD is connected to.
