Try this:

Make a virtual machine that boots from tails iso.
Add usb drive to this virtual machine.
Start it. It will boot from iso.
Use tails installer there to install tails to usb drive.
Reboot virtual machine, but let it boot from USB now (remove tails iso from it).
Create persistence as described in tails documentation.

Now you have tails usb with persistence. Use it as needed.

 Subject: [Tails-support] Running Tails on public Windows computers without

     I want to be able to run Tails on
     public library "windows" computers
 without rebooting.
     
 
     
 
     With this in mind, I installed tails-i386-0.22.1 to an
 4GB flash
     drive with Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.2.exe as
 described in
     "Using a Portable Virtualbox to run Linux from
 USB" by
     www.pendrivelinux.com. 
 However its installer did not display its
     -otherwise included- opportunity to set
 persistence.  I emailed
     Pendrive about this; they answered: "Obviously
 Persistence feature
     is unsupported for TAILS." However, I know this is
 not true.  Most
     likely it is due to VirtualBox on which their
 application relies.  
 
     
 
     I completed the USB installation on my library's
 public windows
     computer.  The resulting flash drive boots from the
 BIOS, but Tails
     is without persistence.
 
     
 
     So, the question remains: "what must I do to
 achieve my original
     goal."
 
     
 
     On reflection, a new iso file of a Tails version with a
 permanent
     built-in persistence capability may fool the
 installer.  However,
     there may be better ways.
 
     
 
     I would appreciate any suggestions on this matter.
 
     
 
     BTW. I tried also Tibo's "LiLi USB
 Creator" with same results.
