Jennie,
This thread was originally about installing and running Legacy from a
Flash Drive presumably because the original poster wanted to have a
version of Legacy which he could use on any machine. That is not
possible because Legacy has to be installed on any computer where you
try to use it. Some of the files Legacy installs are in the Windows
System folders which would be missing on any computer which does not
have Legacy installed.
The need to have the Flash drive use the same drive letter on two
machines applies any time the Legacy Data includes media files.
If you have any media stored on the flash drive you do need to have the
flash drive use the same letter on each computer where you intend to use
it with Legacy.
Legacy uses the full path, including the drive letter for all references
to a media file. If your USB drive is drive E: on the computer which is
used mainly for Legacy but is Drive F: on a second computer then Legacy
will not find the media when you are using it because it will be looking
for files on Drive E. instead of F:

Hi Lena,
It does not need to use the same letter between computers - each install
of Legacy will look for the drive letter that you specify on that
particular computer e.g my laptop might use Drive E but my desktop
might use Drive F. You just have to make sure that if you have multiple
USB ports on the computer that you use the same port each time,
