Compilers on the go.

Are there any compilers (that run on Windows 7) that I can just save onto a USB and import to other computers?

I've tried VS2010, but the installation files are scattered everywhere.

Compiler, or IDE? It's an important distinction.
Could you please remind me of what they are?

But you know what I mean... Something that reads code and makes it all into something.

Well, VS2010 is an IDE. In the background it uses the command line tools cl.exe and link.exe to create the executables.

There are portable versions of both IDEs and Compilers.

It should be possible to create a portable version of the MinGW compiler as everything is kept in the installation directory.

For IDE, the Code::Blocks website has instructions on how to make your installation portable:

Ah, thank you! It's greatly appreciated!
