Did you try it? Nevermind, I know you didn't. Because if you had tried it, and just told it "nevermind about the c:\ thing. Just put it on this USB drive" then you would know that you can then unplug the USB drive, plug it into another Windows computer, and launch the Workbench.exe file, it'll work just fine thank you.

But, hey, who am I to spoil a perfectly good rage hard-on? Go on, tell us some more about how terrible this is and how they're preventing you from doing something. I'm all ears and suppressed giggles...
