Can a program be downloaded to a thumbdrive?

@BlueStateBabe ach, condolences. I agree with @BenA that your best bet would be to try and find the install program. On windows that will frequently have an .msi file extension.
No clue if it's really comparable, but FWIW, this here nominates something called MuseScore as an open-source alternative to finale:
