Can I install VirtualBox on an USB Stick and run it on other computers?
In other words: Is VB portable?

VB is not portable, because it needs to install some drivers to get direct kernel access for hardware calls. Even though it can be installed on a USB drive, it won't run on a different computer that doesn't have VB installed.
Note, any use who mentions that there IS a portable version will get a warning. We do NOT support that.
