It generally is not possible unless the installed program is a stand alone file like Notepad or HijackThis. What program are we talking about?

The website says it needs 151MB of hard drive space so I am guessing it installs files all over the hard drive and some registry entries. I think you will need the original install program and serial number to move it to another PC.

Hi tom1344,
You might find something suitable at the Portable Freeware collection:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/all.php

All these progs will run from USB.
