framework on removable drive

[Guest]

I have USB drives that I need to distribute a .NET appication on. This
application needs to run on machines where the user does not have rights to
install software. Is there any way to install the framework on the usb drive?
I can not put the framework on the client machines.

AFAIK, no, you need to install the .NET Framework on the target machine and
at the very least that requires writing to the Windows registry with admin
privileges.

There are ways to get the framework deployed in these situatuations, common
in enterprises with locked down or secured/controlled desktops. See:
