Hi,
sometimes I have to do some web software debugging at a client's site.
Is it possible to install Fiddler in a USB drive?

I always go with Firefox + Firebug of the PortableApps.com and it
saved my life more than once. It would be great to also have Fiddler.

regards,

If you put all of Fiddler's files on a stick, it should work properly
when run from that stick.

The host system must have the .NET Framework, of course, but most
systems do at this point.

Also probably worth mentioning that you could just run Fiddler on your
laptop, and point the debuggee machine's proxy settings at your
machine. http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler/help/hookup.asp#Q-NonWindows

Nice! It worked in my machine (but it already has Fiddler installed).

It is easier to persuade the IT people of a corporation to run
something from a pen drive than to connect a notebook to their
network.

Unfortunately, in the old machines of the corporate world, there's
still very few .NET frameworks installed:
