    I just bought a new HP Mini 1000 for an upcoming trip and I need to move some applications over to it with a flash drive.When I go into Program Files on my main PC and copy the folder with everything the application needs in it, I copy it over to the flash drive and then put it into the HP Mini. But when I click to open it it says it's not installed. What do I need to do to install it? I don't want to bother with making a .iso and mounting it on a virutal drive... Any help?

    Chances are your going to have to completely re-install the program on the mini 1000. You can't just copy the program files folder.

    You've copied the program files data for that application, but there are also the registry entries for that program, plus there will be appdata for each user of that computer for the program, plus there may be a folder within the program data folder for that application and anything else it needs to install on top of that.

    Yeah, you need to copy all the Setup files to your flash drive and do the complete installation on your mini. If you don't have them, you may be out of luck.
