EPTToday, I come to you with a problem. That problem, as given away in the title, is that I'm having issues installing StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm on a flash drive. + Show Spoiler +
This was not put in any other section of TL because I feel that I could not compose a decent enough OP.
I have an 8GB flash drive and, from what I've read, the multiplayer part of StarCraft II should fit just fine on it. However, every time I try to launch StarCraft, either from the StarCraft II.exe or the SC2Switcher.exe, it fails.
When I launch from the StarCraft II.exe, the launcher starts, but I am greeted with this notification:

That leaves the SC2Switcher.exe. Every time I open this, I see this: + Show Spoiler +

In time this will get up to 42/42 and will say, "Preparing game data" and underneath will say, "Calculating..." forever so it will never launch.
The current folders/other things I have copied to the flash drive are:
Battle.net
Campaigns + Show Spoiler +
I delete this folder but every time I try and start StarCraft II from the SC2Switcher, it puts this folder back in. No clue why. It has a couple sub-folders that appear to be campaign folders.

I am able to run StarCraft II fine from the HDD on my computer. No issues there. I only have problems launching it from the flash drive. I've tried to google this but all the other questions are from at least a few months ago so they aren't dealing with the same patches I am. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
If anyone has successfully put the Heart of the Swarm multiplayer on a flashdrive, please let me know and post how you did it. If not, what else should I be trying? Am I missing files or just not going about this in the correct way?
Thanks!
