My definition of "installing" is clear and unambiguous. Your definition

What if it doesn't install DLLs but creates registy keys and configures
environment variables? Is it then installing? What if it doesn't configure
environment variables? Is it still installing? What if it installs DLLs
but doesn't create a registry key?

But you didn't "drop the binary only a USB flash drive" (whatever that
may mean). You installed it in your system.
