@Cranky -- you might take a look at the PortableApps Launcher

It is for developers to be able to make most apps portable "without having to write code". Needs NSIS Portable installed, also from PortableApps --

I've never used it (I quit making portable apps when JauntePE was no longer supported past XP), but the PortableApp forum users are enthusiastic about it, and it has been around a long time, so should be very stable.
