And why would one need to "copy it to the hard drive" before executing the
file by double-clicking it? Do you really believe that executable files
can't be run from any other storage device?

That would certainly be an option, too. I happen to like storing
installation files in an installation folder on the hard drive. This way
if the file on the flash drive disappears, it doesn't need to be
re-downloaded. Just my particular quirk and not necessary as you have
pointed out.
That being said, I would imagine the installation would be quicker if
not installing directly from a flash drive. But that's only a guess. If
others have tried both ways, I'd like to know what their experiences
were.
