How can i install UFO:AI on my flash drive while allowing the game to run more than one time once connected to a computer.  I have only been successful in getting it to run once. Thank you in advance.

what was the problem when it the second time?

i don't see anything that speaks against the usage of an usb stick. the only problem would be that your saves will be stored not on the usb stick but in the home dir of the user you are logged in with. (see faq)

I think that theres the issue of missing directories, such as the Apps and Data folder with the UFO folder. Depending on how its set up, the game client might be looking for files in that directory upon opening, and if it cant find them, it might close.
