How can I run Word 97 from my USB pen drive?

I want to install Word 97 on my USB Pen Drive so that I can take it
with me to the internet cafe and use it there. However, when I have
tried to do this it doesn't run. I just copied the program file to the
USB drive and it doesn't run, saying a required DLL file was not
found. Maybe there are just one or two DLL files I have to copy into
the cafe's computer? But I don't know which ones and where to put
them! Or is it more complicated than that?

I want to actually run it from my pen drive, not install it to the Net
Cafe computer.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Not going to happen. First it isn't in accordance with the EULA, and
second you would need to write entries to the registry file on the cafe
pc and if the owner knows what they're doing it won't let you.

Okay, I copied a bunch of Word files that looked like they had
something to do with making the program work into a folder on my Pen
Drive with the winword.exe file and it's working.

I do get a message when I start it about the Registry saying no good
or something, but after I click OK, the program works from the pen
drive.
