How to find USB drive letter?

Question

I'm writing a setup program to install an application to a USB drive. The application is meant to be used only from USB drives, so it would save an extra step for the user by automatically selecting USB drive to install to.

I might explore using Nullsoft or MSI for install, but since I'm mostly familiar with .NET I initially plan to try either custom .NET installer or setup component on .NET.

Is it possible to determine the drive letter of a USB flash drive on Windows using .NET? How?

You could use:

from driveInfo in DriveInfo.GetDrives()
where driveInfo.DriveType == DriveType.Removable && driveInfo.IsReady
select driveInfo.RootDirectory.FullName
