It all depends on whether the application requires a registry entry. I have seen some programs where we have literally copied the installation directory between machines and executed the file. Not having installed the software at all, but the application still ran.

I am not sure WinAmp is one of those. If it does write a registry entry, then it will likely work as long as the drive letter does not change, however, if you try and load up Windows without the E: drive, then Windows might complain about that.


So if it's on a flash drive, say, the drive letter will change when I move it from machine to machine. That might cause it to fail. That would suck! There should be a way around that.
