I want to create a custom WordPress theme, but I don’t have administrative access to the computer that I’m using, so I can’t install WordPress to test my theme. Is there another easy way to do it? I have photoshop, and notepad ++ both installed on my flash drive, but as far as I know there is no way to install WordPress on a flash drive.
Here is a link to an open source program called MoWeS Portable which will “enable you to quickly set up a WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP) system on any Windows system.
Additionally, you can download so-called packages. Packages contain application software, such as TYPO3, MediaWiki, WordPress, Joomla!, etc., and are installed automatically.”
This means you can install this on a usb stick and then install WordPress..

Wow
thats a cool question, I think it is possible, but it would not be easy to do, never thought about installing wordpress on a flash drive, at a minimum you would need the right kind of environment on the drive.
U3 might be a possibility, I know I can output on U3 but providing the test environment that is a different story, this requires some additional thought,
You can purchase Artisteer, which is used to create WP themes and can be previewed in your browser.
Have a great day!

That would be a very expensive solution if you are not planning on using Artisteer to make wp themes.
Although Mitz’s solution is a bit geeky (no offence) but probably the easiest/best solution.
My solution would be. Wait till I get somewhere where I do have those rights. Like on my own laptop.
