They're available on some older releases, but not the newer ones. I'll try to add a self extracting archive to the latest release some time. It's an exe file, but running it just extracts the contents and nothing more. Would an actual zip archive be useful with each release? I typically use 7-zip so I can compress them with the xz algorithms to keep them small.
For the record... the Windows PageEdit installer makes no registry changes (except for the uninstall entry). it also gives users the option to not make any Start menu entries as well as the ability to not create a desktop icon. It's about as plain-Jane as a Windows installer can get.
You can also exraxt the contents of an Inno Setup installer (without running the installer) with this utility:

Note that neither PageEdit nor Sigil should be considered "portable." But you should be able to put it anywhere on a system that has the correct VS runtime installed so long as the directory structure isn't altered (and the user has permissions for where it's going).
