Ok, I know this may be a touchy subject, but basically I want to
install the games on my flash drive so I can play at home as well as
at work were we are not allowed admin right on the main drive to
install things.  Age of empires works fine like this, but Starcraft
constantly asks for the cd to be in the drive no matter what I do to
try ot fix it.

BWLauncher used to be the answer to this, but since it IIRC still
hasn't been updated for ver 1.15, you're out of luck in that aspect.

There's a few mini-size multiplayer-only ISOs/Install.exe's floating
around that'd allow you to make an image of the thing that'd fit a
thumbdrive, but you'd still need to have daemon tools or the
equivalent program installed to actually run the thing.


Otherwise, there's plain o'l method of getting a cracked executable
for the game, but I'm not sure how well those work with multiplayer,
at least if you're looking to play on blizzard's own battle.net.
