Transfering a program to a floppy disk?

I enjoy a friend that wants to verbs a card game program that's already on one computer to a floppy disk to put on another computer. What are the steps he wishes to take?

Transfering a program to a floppy disk?

You can't do it that road. You can't copy programs from a hard drive.



When you install a program it puts entries within the following locations:



C:\Progam Files

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Local Settings

C:\Windows\System32

C:\Windows\System32\dllcache



It also puts keys and values within Windows registry.
I thought floppy disks were almost impracticable any longer?
The requirement is that you need the installation report,or the zip files of the installation database, and it needs to be smaller number then 1.44 MB.

Only a totally small percent of programs fits this criteria.

You're best bet is using a small jump drive and copy the installation files to it.

Only terribly few programs can run straight from a floppy or jump drive.

Soon more programs will be doing that using U3 USB's
