How do I change the drive letter\root folder for VB?

[thestockbroker]

I am trying to run VB 2005 express edition .net off an external hard drive...
The external hard drive is from my laptop on which I installed my copy of VB whilst using the laptop, so all necessary components are there somewhere on my hard drive in the program and windows file directories.
My problem is that when I remove the hdd from my laptop to use as an external hard drive, of course the drive letter changes from 'C:' to 'D:' or 'E:' when plugged into another pc, as it is no longer the primary drive. However attempting to run vb.net on the external hdd, I am prompted that 'dll files are missing' beacuse it searches the active copy of windows (eg the one currently running (drive C)
Is there any way of rectifying this? I don't care if it nullifies its use when used as an internal hdd, as long as it works as an external hdd.

Any comments, suggestions, or help would be greatly appreciated

I think that you'd have to reinstall to refresh all the drive mappings. Who knows where they are all stored? To try to do something like that by hand is fraught with peril.
