Hi If you install to a USB drive you would proably have to extract the delphi particular registries and run them on the computer you wish to work on. Keeping in mind that you would need to make sure that the USB drive has always the same drive letter. The other consideration would be that each computer would need to have the Borland shared information and BDE installed for the Delphi to work properly if you need to work on databases.
My recommendation is to download a virtual machine called VirtualBox and create a virtual computer, install your development environment there and then run the image from your USB drive. In this manner you are walking around with a fully configured computer. I have done this successfully when I need a transportable Delphi 7. You would obviously need virtual box installed on the client computer but this will be a quick effortless install which you can in the end remove quite easily.
