Hey basil, I play maple off a flash drive when I'm not near my laptop, and I tried the same thing with combat arms. I did the exact same thing, copy and paste to the drive. For some reason, combat arms won't work. When I try to open the game client, I get an error that tells me "could not find combat arms installation files" Help?

I think it does this because during the installation, it inserts files into your registry. Perhaps that's the reason you can't play, other computers don't have the registry entries needed to run the game.

Aww that sucks... Is there any way that I can copy these files too ?

Naw Regristry can't be copied. The values, however can be copied.

Re-download the installation file and install onto the USB flash drive? If that doesn't work, it's because of the Registry thing.

Particular folders of registry keys CAN be exported and imported (or created) into your other PC/Laptop, but it's a difficult process, making sure you've got them all. P.S. Your problem may not even have to do with registry keys. Even MapleStory has a ton of registry keys installed.
