This is basically what I was suggesting to Diane, except I suggested copying

The Legacy6Setup.exe file which is in the Legacy folder is the same as the
"Install from the Web" file and not the full setup file. To run that file
you will need access to the internet as it goes back to our website to
complete the install.
Thanks for using Legacy.

Cynthia,
Though I've never done what you are asking, I'm very familiar with flash
drives. Flash drives are essentially the same as the hard drive that is in
your computer, only the flash is external. So, when you go to install Legacy
you need to change the file path where you want it installed to.
Hear hear. The only thing worse than the mistaken html and attachments
and off topic questions etc is (it seems like) 700 e-mails jumping on each
error.
