The Stand Alone Version

Wega2 is also available as a Stand Alone version, this version runs from any USB drive or memory card and doesn't use the registry but saves the settings on the card. Installation is simple, download the SA version and extract the files to the root of a USB pen/drive or memory card.

If you have Wega2 installed on your computer you don't need the SA zip, just start Wega and simply point to an usb drive in the navigation panel on the left then right mouse click and select the Create Wega2 Stand alone option.
