I'm not sure myself, but I believe that Jim Strupp's bundle with Uniform server [1] allows you to run from a USB stick. At various points I've tried using RubyScript2Exe to get a standalone installation, but failed. It generates a binary that runs, but I can't get it to read/write to a database within the package. It would be pretty ideal for people who didn't want to do all the configuration and installation, or wanted to use Tracks on the move without a server. > PS: Do you know ThinkingRock (java based) ?
