I would say that this is a bad idea because you''re not running just your code. You need a web server running from the USB drive too. Most of those are going to require installation on the machine in order to even start running.

You're going to need a "portal web server". Take a look at this[^] for some examples.

In addition to that the target machine will need the right version of the framework installed. If you want code to run from a USB stick then asp.net is about the worse choice to make.
