Can setup builder create installs for an app to be run on a usb flash drive
or a U3 usb flash drive?
I dont know if anything different is required but on the U3 website there is
information about running your applications on a U3 flash drive.

I was thinking of creating a "run on usb flash drive" version of my app

Eric,

We have companies using USB Drives to deploy and update their applications.

But U3 is not a simple drive, it is a new "platform". U3 applications are
packaged as a .zip compressed file (but with the extension .u3p). In other
words, the "installer" is nothing more than a simple zip archive.

BTW, as I understand it, you need a Visual Studio add-on to create U3
applications.
