Character Builder on a Thumb Drive?

Feb 21, 2009 1:44:56 Hey all, does anyone know if there are any problems using Character Builder on a Thumb Drive? I'd really like to take it with me wherever I may go, but I don't want to corrupt anything or void my warranty (;) ) or anything.

Anybody have a experience trying that out?

I imagine that if I take it to a machine that does NOT have the .NET framework 3.5 installed, I'd be stuck, but are there any other requirements? Does it store data in the registry or elsewhere on the drive?

In todays day and age of handy portable apps, this would be something I'd really like to be able to use in that fashion.
