My objective is to create a virtual machine (XP as guest OS), install some app in it, put the vm in a usb2 drive (performance is not a matter), and run it in any windows os (xp, vista, 7) without installing anything in host, using any host account (admin, guest, limited). Unlike nearly every emulator out there QEMU does not require admin access to run, making it a perfect candidate for building thumb-drive based portable virtual machines. Windows Virtual PC. Portable VirtualBox lets you install VirtualBox on a USB drive or external hard drive and run your virtual machines anywhere. Windows users have a few choices when it comes to virtualizing another. The micro Linux distribution known as Levinux (download 20 MB) is a tiny virtual Linux server that runs from USB or Dropbox with a double-click (no install or admin rights required) on Macs, Windows or Linux PCs—making it the perfect learning environment and launching-off point for other projects, requiring just enough operating system and a. KO File System allows you to distribute your content over several images. This helps synchronizing over Dropbox and other forms of cloud storage. Possible uses are: small backups of data to a large truecrypt image, a simple portable virtual machine like virtualbox synchronized and backed up on dropbox, and use your imagination for other.
Portable-VirtualBox is a free and open source software tool that lets you run any operating system from a usb stick without separate installation.

Install files signature
All install files after launcher version 6.4.10 is digitally signed. Signer is “Open Source Developer, Runar Buvik”, certificate is issued by Certum Level III CA. This is temporarily disabled until a new certificate arrives in the mail.
Note
VirtualBox needs several kernel drivers installed and needs to start several services: if the drivers and services are not already installed you'll need administrator rights to run Portable-VirtualBox.
When Portable-VirtualBox starts, it checks to see if the drivers are installed. If they are not it will install them before running VirtualBox and will remove them afterward. Similarly, Portable-VirtualBox checks to see if the services are running. If not, it will start them and then stop them when it exits.
If you want to save space you can remove the language files for other languages than your own. That can save you nearly 10 MB. They are in the nls directory.
You can also delete the documentation saving nearly 5 MB. You will find it in the doc directory.
When the VM is running you must press the 'Host-Key' (initially configured as the right CTRL-Key) to be able to use the other Hotkeys since otherwise the VM will have the focus.
