Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Run Wireshark from USB?

["Sake Blok" <sake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you do not have an U3 stick, you could also use a normal stick and put 
PortableApps on it, since there is also a portableApps installer of 
wireshark. See: http://www.portableapps.com and 
http://www.wireshark.org/download/win32/WiresharkPortable-1.1.0.paf.exe

Still, capturing needs WinPcap (temporary) installed. But viewing captures 
is no problem without installing anything.

Cheers,

Sake
