Install Inventor to an SD card?

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro with a limited hard-drive, so I'm trying to install Inventor to an attached SD card (or a USB flash drive if thats any better).  When I go through setup and install, I cannot select the SD card for install, even though I can see it as an option. Is there a way to install directly to an SD card to run Inventor from?

**I am a student, and am downlaoding the student version.  Not sure if this makes a difference.

Having had a Surface Pro, I would not recommend using it for Inventor as it does not nearly meet the requirements to run the software properly.
